In one study, Saiegh-Haddad (2003) tested kindergarten and first grade Palestinian children on their phonemic awareness and decoding abilities of phonological variables that differ between the Fusha and ammiya. Abu- Rabia (2000) studied the effect of early exposure to MSA in the preschool stage on the reading comprehension of literary Arabic later on in the first and second grade. I investigated Palestinian children’s attitudes towards the diglossic situation in Arabic and how they perceive its impact on learning o read and write. Needless to say that Maamouri’s paper to the World Bank is the only thorough resource I know addressing this issue in detail. I am so glad to know that you are interested in this issue. We need more studies on diglossia and children . I am currently studying children’s morphosyntactic development in light of the diglossic situation. We are working on a written draft. If you are interested in this subject you can e-mail me at rk2121 at columbia.edu and will be glad to share you with our preliminary results.

The announced TAPA 2006 workshop should open this series of events. Its purpose is to bring together people from different areas of the Natural Language Processing community, who are either interested in the problem of multi-level linguistic description of Arabic, or concerned with the resources, tools and methods used recently in the study of this language. The organizers would like to see this workshop on Treebanking and Advanced Processing of Arabic both as an opportunity for the invited research teams to promote their relevant scientific projects, and as an open opportunity for other teams of the community to report on their original approaches or derived applications. The workshop should become a forum for explanation and informed discussion. Combining one's participation in TAPA 2006 with the other events is expected and highly recommended, of course. WORKSHOP FORMAT ------------------------------------------------------ There will be two sessions on the day of the Workshop. Each of them will have a part reserved for invited talks on the leading projects in Arabic Computational Linguistics, and another part devoted to the regular contributions, discussions and demos in the scope of the research interests of the community. The Workshop will be held on Thursday, November 30, 2006, from 09:00 to 18:00 in the facilities of Charles University in Prague. The time planned for one regular paper presentation will be 20 minutes, invited talks will be offered 1 hour plus some time for questions. The other co-occurring events are fixed on December 1-2 (TLT 2006) and December 4-9 (VMC 2006, PIRE). There will be independent announcements of theirs, with proper details. SUBMISSIONS ---------------------------------------------------------- We invite papers describing original approaches to the various aspects of Arabic language treebanking, and/or addressing research issues that the treebanking projects might help pursue and improve. In particular, we invite papers on: * issues in constituency and dependency syntax * theories of representation of meaning * interplay of morphology, syntax, and the levels beyond * valency lexicons, extraction of grammars * implementations of tagging and parsing techniques * using treebanks in machine translation * language modeling with its various applications * computational tools and treebank management * development of lexicons and other linguistic databases * application of treebanks in language education Full versions of papers, written in English, will be accepted for review as PDF or PostScript files. The papers are required to conform to the style guidelines of the proceedings of the Workshop, specified on the website: http://ufal.mff.cuni.cz/padt/TAPA2006/ TIMELINE ------------------------------------------------------------- Call for papers and participation March 15, 2006 Paper submission deadline July 30, 2006 Notification of acceptance September 10, 2006 Final versions of papers due October 15, 2006 RESOURCES ------------------------------------------------------------ * Linguistic Data Consortium Catalog http://www.ldc.upenn.edu/Catalog/ * Penn Arabic Treebank Project http://www.ircs.upenn.edu/arabic/ * Columbia's Arabic Dialect Modeling Group http://www.ccls.columbia.edu/cadim/ * Prague Arabic Dependency Treebank ++ http://ufal.mff.cuni.cz/padt/online/ PROGRAM COMMITTEE ---------------------------------------------------- * Ann Bies (University of Pennsylvania) * Tim Buckwalter (University of Pennsylvania) * Violetta Cavalli-Sforza (Carnegie Mellon University) * Mona Diab (Columbia University) * Nizar Habash (Columbia University) * Jan Hajic (Charles University) * Mohamed Maamouri (University of Pennsylvania) * Owen Rambow (Columbia University) * Khalil Sima'an (University of Amsterdam) * Otakar Smrz (Charles University) * Petr Zemanek (Charles University) ORGANIZING COMMITTEE ------------------------------------------------- * Otakar Smrz (Charles University) * Jan Hajic (Charles University) ------------------------------------------------------------------------ -- End of Arabic-L: 17 Mar 2006 From dilworth_parkinson at BYU.EDU Fri Mar 17 22:13:27 2006 From: dilworth_parkinson at BYU.EDU (Dilworth Parkinson) Date: Fri, 17 Mar 2006 15:13:27 -0700 Subject: Arabic-L:LIT:Needs Complete lists of Naguib Mahfouz works Message-ID: ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Arabic-L: Fri 17 Mar 2006 Moderator: Dilworth Parkinson [To post messages to the list, send them to arabic-l at byu.edu] [To unsubscribe, send message from same address you subscribed from to listserv at byu.edu with first line reading: unsubscribe arabic-l ] -------------------------Directory------------------------------------ 1) Subject:Needs Complete lists of Naguib Mahfouz works -------------------------Messages----------------------------------- 1) Date: 17 Mar 2006 From:richardhasan at gmail.com Subject:Needs Complete lists of Naguib Mahfouz works Can someone help me with this...

The new site has the following URL: arabiCorpus.byu.edu Note that it has only one 'c'. First time users should register their e-mail address, and thereafter log in with that address. This new version is more 'designed' than the former (arCorpus.byu.edu), and it adds a number of features, the most important of which that it saves the results of the search in a database, so that you can move to different pages and different sortings and views with very little delay. Other features include the ability to see references, and to access the entire context of a citation. The ability of the program to deal with embedded English has been improved, and corpora have been combined into 'natural' groupings, allowing you to search more than one thing at once. However, of course, the more things you search at once, the longer your 'wait' will be. It is fairly easy to add electronic corpora to this tool, so if any of you have electronic versions of texts you would like to send in, I will try to accommodate them. I would like to have a collection of medieval texts, a collection of modern literature, and a collection of no-fiction prose that is also non-newspaper. This would allow users to make fast comparisons over 'time' and over 'genre'. This tool can be used to find citations for lexicographical and scholarly purposes, but it was also designed with the advanced student of Arabic in mind. The hope is that teachers will be able to send students to this site with the instruction to find 5-10 good examples of a particular word, construction or idiom, and it will motivate the students to search and discover about the language on their own. Please send feedback to dil at byu.edu.

Actually it's something that perhaps someone in your language lab could do. We use a tool called OLE (Online Learing Environment) at the U of Arizona for students to do oral and video recordings and this is the same tool that I am hoping to use for the AATA sponsored poetry competition which we want to launch this semester. The tech guys have asked me to have a couple people test the OLE at a distance by asking people off campus to log onto OLE and submit some kind of 5 minute oral recitation (it can be a reading of anything) this will also give you an opportunity to see how it works so that when the competition is annouced you'll be one step ahead in terms of organizing your students' participation in it. I have set up an account for the test: What you need to do is: go to the website: http://epsilon.ltc.arizona.edu/ole/oleboard.html log in as follows: username: AATA password: AATA click enter once in, select the conference "AATA 2006 Arabic Poetry Competition (Student) and click enter Select "Long distance test of OLE" and click the + icon in the top right This gets you into the window where you will do and post a recording as follows: Click on *both video and audio* Select 44 khz from drop down menu Click the red button to record a 5 minute audioi and video segment (anyone saying anything really) Clck the square button to stop recording Click post to post the recording Feel free to have whoever is doing this contact me for help if necessary. The computer on which this is done needs a microphone, a webcam and an internet browser with FLASH media plug in. ( a free download) More information about OLE is available here: http:// www.ole.arizona.edu/ The number below is my cellphone and I can be reached on that number anytime. Thanks for helping out with this.

On April 8, 2006 we will release phase 2 of our ReadVerse system with several new important features. Below is a summary of what we plan to include in phase 3. Before we commence that phase, we would appreciate your review of that summary, and would welcome any suggestions you may have. Phase 2 with major features. 1 - Search the entire Holy Quran in Arabic by one word using Arabic Abacus. http://www.readverse.com/1000_arabic/200_vowels/search_methods/ 100_quran_word_full.html 2 - Search the entire Holy Quran in Arabic by two words using Arabic Abacus. http://www.readverse.com/1000_arabic/200_vowels/search_methods/ 140_quran_2_words_full.html 3 - Search the entire Holy Quran in Arabic or English for a certain subject. 4 - The subject search engine is still under construction and it will include subjects like: Democracy, Justice, Peace, Family, Marriage, and so on. http://www.readverse.com/1000_arabic/200_vowels/search_methods/ 120_quranic_topics.html 5 - Listen, read, write, and speak several suras of the Holy Quran http://www.readverse.com/1000_arabic/3000_suras/s_list_all_suras/ ar_100_list_all_suras.html/ http://www.readverse.com/1000_arabic/3000_suras/s_list_all_suras/ en_100_list_all_suras.html/ 6 - Students can take exams and send the results directly to their teachers. http://www.readverse.com/1000_arabic/3000_suras/s114/v000/sg001/ ar_examnolk_s114_v000_sg001.html http://www.readverse.com/1000_arabic/3000_suras/s114/v000/sg001/ en_examnolk_s114_v000_sg001.html 7 - Vocal apparatus animation for Arabic letter “Sod”. http://www.readverse.com/1000_arabic/250_vocal_appratus_letters/ hard_palate_letters/1400_sod/1400_sod_letter.html Phase 3 suggestions: A - Arabic Abacus as a full text editor for Arabic language: There are16 different, Arabic character sets that are used by Middle East Arab countries. These character sets are not compatible. Our new Arabic Abacus, however, resolves this compatibility issue, and will eliminate the need for installing any additional software on your system. You will be able to write any Arabic document, save it as a file, send that file to your respondent who can open it, make changes using the Arabic Abacus, and then send that file back to you. An example of the usage of Arabic Abacus would be a Quran teacher who composes a document, and sends it as an exam file from Los Angeles, California, USA, to a student in Cairo, Egypt. And please remember that the B - Lesson-maker Software: This proposed new software will assist teachers and students. A teacher would be able to use the software to type a lesson, question, and the expected correct answers. Students can take a lesson or a quiz on their own pace and the software will match the answers to the expected correct answers. The software will send the grade back to a student and a copy to the instructor; an instructor may suppress sending either the grade or the feedback.

Following is a brief description: The Cornell Arabic program integrates spoken Arabic with Modern Standard Arabic (MSA) in a way that reflects the use of the language by native speakers. Arabs use a spoken dialect for ordinary conversation and MSA for reading, writing, and formal speech. The Cornell program introduces spoken Arabic and MSA simultaneously, using each variety as it is used in real life. The four language skills of listening, speaking, reading, and writing are developed with a focus on communication (i.e., understanding the language and communicating ideas in it) rather than on the study of grammar. An important objective of the program is familiarizing students with basic facts about the geography, history, and culture of the Arab world. Courses offered: * NES 111 Elementary Arabic I (June 5-June 30, 2006) * NES 112 Elementary Arabic II (July 6-August 3, 2006) This two-course sequence provides a thorough grounding in the four language skills of listening, speaking, reading, and writing. Short stories, anecdotes, and dialogues reflecting real life experiences with an element of authenticity and humor are used to develop the listening and speaking skills. Reading and writing are developed through a "mini-course" in Arabic on Arab history, geography, and culture. The readings start with short phrases describing Arab countries, cities, and people, and end with page-long biographies of important Arab historical figures. Songs, Jeopardy-type games, crossword puzzles and other vocabulary-building activities that recycle the words of the listening, speaking, and reading materials are used to enhance the learning and retention of vocabulary and grammatical structures. There is no prerequisite for NES 111. The prerequisite for NES 112 is NES 111 or one semester of Arabic. * NES 113 Intermediate Arabic I (June 5-June 30, 2006) * NES 210 Intermediate Arabic II (July 6-August 3, 2006) This two-course sequence continues the development of the four language skills through the extensive use of carefully selected graded materials on a variety of topics. The materials have been selected with the goal of generating lively classroom discussions and mastering vocabulary and structures that are useful in real-life situations in an Arabic-speaking environment outside of the classroom. While more attention is given to developing native-like pronunciation and to grammatical accuracy than in NES 111-112, the main focus of the course is on encouraging fluency and facility in understanding the language and communicating ideas in it. In addition to building on the linguistic foundation started in NES 111-112, the course continues the practice of introducing students to Arab society, history, and culture through the use of folktales, songs, poems, newspaper articles, and short stories depicting different aspects of Arab life and culture. The prerequisite for NES 113 is NES 112 or one year of Arabic. The prerequisite for NES 210 is NES 113 or equivalent. Each of the four courses carries four credits and is equivalent to a semester of language study at Cornell. Students will have the option of signing up for one or both courses in each sequence.

August 11, 2005 The Hashemite University is on the outskirts of the city of Zarqa, the second largest city after the capital city Amman, with a population of about 1.000.000 inhabitants. Zarqa is located in the north of Jordan about 20 miles (25 km) north east of Amman. With its unique location and small size compared to other over-crowded cities in the region, the city of Zarqa is a great choice for an Arabic study abroad program. The program will begin on Sunday, July 3, 2005. Students must arrive in Zarqa on July 2nd. The Summer Arabic program at the Hashemite University (HU) is part of an exchange agreement between The University of Oklahoma (OU) and The Hashemite University a (HU) and is open to non-OU students as well. The program provides: - Intensive Arabic language instruction of 150 hours: 125 of Modern Standard Arabic and 25 hours in survival colloquial Jordanian. - Small classrooms with individual attention (maximum of 12 students in each class) to develop their Arabic language skills at the Intermediate and advanced levels and beyond. The Summer 2006 program will be limited to instruction at the Intermediate (equivalent to 2nd year Arabic at OU) and advanced (equivalent to 3rd year Arabic at OU) levels. - Basic orientation on the country and culture upon arrival - At least three field trips to historical sites & cultural programs arranged by HU - Off-campus housing in Amman, arranged by HU The deadline for application is April 25, 2006.

In one study, Saiegh-Haddad (2003) tested kindergarten and first grade Palestinian children on their phonemic awareness and decoding abilities of phonological variables that differ between the Fusha and ammiya. Abu- Rabia (2000) studied the effect of early exposure to MSA in the preschool stage on the reading comprehension of literary Arabic later on in the first and second grade. I investigated Palestinian children?s attitudes towards the diglossic situation in Arabic and how they perceive its impact on learning o read and write. Needless to say that Maamouri?s paper to the World Bank is the only thorough resource I know addressing this issue in detail. I am so glad to know that you are interested in this issue. We need more studies on diglossia and children . I am currently studying children?s morphosyntactic development in light of the diglossic situation. We are working on a written draft. If you are interested in this subject you can e-mail me at rk2121 at columbia.edu and will be glad to share you with our preliminary results.

The announced TAPA 2006 workshop should open this series of events. Its purpose is to bring together people from different areas of the Natural Language Processing community, who are either interested in the problem of multi-level linguistic description of Arabic, or concerned with the resources, tools and methods used recently in the study of this language. The organizers would like to see this workshop on Treebanking and Advanced Processing of Arabic both as an opportunity for the invited research teams to promote their relevant scientific projects, and as an open opportunity for other teams of the community to report on their original approaches or derived applications. The workshop should become a forum for explanation and informed discussion. Combining one's participation in TAPA 2006 with the other events is expected and highly recommended, of course. WORKSHOP FORMAT ------------------------------------------------------ There will be two sessions on the day of the Workshop. Each of them will have a part reserved for invited talks on the leading projects in Arabic Computational Linguistics, and another part devoted to the regular contributions, discussions and demos in the scope of the research interests of the community. The Workshop will be held on Thursday, November 30, 2006, from 09:00 to 18:00 in the facilities of Charles University in Prague. The time planned for one regular paper presentation will be 20 minutes, invited talks will be offered 1 hour plus some time for questions. The other co-occurring events are fixed on December 1-2 (TLT 2006) and December 4-9 (VMC 2006, PIRE). There will be independent announcements of theirs, with proper details. SUBMISSIONS ---------------------------------------------------------- We invite papers describing original approaches to the various aspects of Arabic language treebanking, and/or addressing research issues that the treebanking projects might help pursue and improve. In particular, we invite papers on: * issues in constituency and dependency syntax * theories of representation of meaning * interplay of morphology, syntax, and the levels beyond * valency lexicons, extraction of grammars * implementations of tagging and parsing techniques * using treebanks in machine translation * language modeling with its various applications * computational tools and treebank management * development of lexicons and other linguistic databases * application of treebanks in language education Full versions of papers, written in English, will be accepted for review as PDF or PostScript files. The papers are required to conform to the style guidelines of the proceedings of the Workshop, specified on the website: http://ufal.mff.cuni.cz/padt/TAPA2006/ TIMELINE ------------------------------------------------------------- Call for papers and participation March 15, 2006 Paper submission deadline July 30, 2006 Notification of acceptance September 10, 2006 Final versions of papers due October 15, 2006 RESOURCES ------------------------------------------------------------ * Linguistic Data Consortium Catalog http://www.ldc.upenn.edu/Catalog/ * Penn Arabic Treebank Project http://www.ircs.upenn.edu/arabic/ * Columbia's Arabic Dialect Modeling Group http://www.ccls.columbia.edu/cadim/ * Prague Arabic Dependency Treebank ++ http://ufal.mff.cuni.cz/padt/online/ PROGRAM COMMITTEE ---------------------------------------------------- * Ann Bies (University of Pennsylvania) * Tim Buckwalter (University of Pennsylvania) * Violetta Cavalli-Sforza (Carnegie Mellon University) * Mona Diab (Columbia University) * Nizar Habash (Columbia University) * Jan Hajic (Charles University) * Mohamed Maamouri (University of Pennsylvania) * Owen Rambow (Columbia University) * Khalil Sima'an (University of Amsterdam) * Otakar Smrz (Charles University) * Petr Zemanek (Charles University) ORGANIZING COMMITTEE ------------------------------------------------- * Otakar Smrz (Charles University) * Jan Hajic (Charles University) ------------------------------------------------------------------------ -- End of Arabic-L: 17 Mar 2006 From dilworth_parkinson at BYU.EDU Fri Mar 17 22:13:27 2006 From: dilworth_parkinson at BYU.EDU (Dilworth Parkinson) Date: Fri, 17 Mar 2006 15:13:27 -0700 Subject: Arabic-L:LIT:Needs Complete lists of Naguib Mahfouz works Message-ID: ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Arabic-L: Fri 17 Mar 2006 Moderator: Dilworth Parkinson [To post messages to the list, send them to arabic-l at byu.edu] [To unsubscribe, send message from same address you subscribed from to listserv at byu.edu with first line reading: unsubscribe arabic-l ] -------------------------Directory------------------------------------ 1) Subject:Needs Complete lists of Naguib Mahfouz works -------------------------Messages----------------------------------- 1) Date: 17 Mar 2006 From:richardhasan at gmail.com Subject:Needs Complete lists of Naguib Mahfouz works Can someone help me with this...

The new site has the following URL: arabiCorpus.byu.edu Note that it has only one 'c'. First time users should register their e-mail address, and thereafter log in with that address. This new version is more 'designed' than the former (arCorpus.byu.edu), and it adds a number of features, the most important of which that it saves the results of the search in a database, so that you can move to different pages and different sortings and views with very little delay. Other features include the ability to see references, and to access the entire context of a citation. The ability of the program to deal with embedded English has been improved, and corpora have been combined into 'natural' groupings, allowing you to search more than one thing at once. However, of course, the more things you search at once, the longer your 'wait' will be. It is fairly easy to add electronic corpora to this tool, so if any of you have electronic versions of texts you would like to send in, I will try to accommodate them. I would like to have a collection of medieval texts, a collection of modern literature, and a collection of no-fiction prose that is also non-newspaper. This would allow users to make fast comparisons over 'time' and over 'genre'. This tool can be used to find citations for lexicographical and scholarly purposes, but it was also designed with the advanced student of Arabic in mind. The hope is that teachers will be able to send students to this site with the instruction to find 5-10 good examples of a particular word, construction or idiom, and it will motivate the students to search and discover about the language on their own. Please send feedback to dil at byu.edu. I look forward to hearing from you, including suggestions for improvements. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ -- End of Arabic-L: 17 Mar 2006 From dilworth_parkinson at BYU.EDU Thu Mar 23 23:36:45 2006 From: dilworth_parkinson at BYU.EDU (Dilworth Parkinson) Date: Thu, 23 Mar 2006 16:36:45 -0700 Subject: Arabic-L:LING:Unclassified Sadam Documents Message-ID: ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Arabic-L: Thu 23 Mar 2006 Moderator: Dilworth Parkinson [To post messages to the list, send them to arabic-l at byu.edu] [To unsubscribe, send message from same address you subscribed from to listserv at byu.edu with first line reading: unsubscribe arabic-l ] -------------------------Directory------------------------------------ 1) Subject:Unclassified Sadam Documents -------------------------Messages----------------------------------- 1) Date: 23 Mar 2006 From:baykal.erol at gmail.com Subject:Unclassified Sadam Documents The US Military has released unclassified documents belonging to the governement of the deposed president Saddam H. http://fmso.leavenworth.army.mil/products-docex.htm ------------------------------------------------------------------------ -- End of Arabic-L: 23 Mar 2006 From dilworth_parkinson at BYU.EDU Thu Mar 23 23:36:41 2006 From: dilworth_parkinson at BYU.EDU (Dilworth Parkinson) Date: Thu, 23 Mar 2006 16:36:41 -0700 Subject: Arabic-L:LING:Dakhla Dialect Message-ID: ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Arabic-L: Thu 23 Mar 2006 Moderator: Dilworth Parkinson [To post messages to the list, send them to arabic-l at byu.edu] [To unsubscribe, send message from same address you subscribed from to listserv at byu.edu with first line reading: unsubscribe arabic-l ] -------------------------Directory------------------------------------ 1) Subject:Dakhla Dialect -------------------------Messages----------------------------------- 1) Date: 23 Mar 2006 From:Mona.Hegazy at student.uva.nl Subject:Dakhla Dialect I am writing a paper about Dakhla dialect (in egypt) and i have a conversation which i have to analyse. i have been searching some literature about this dialect and could only find two articles in German.

Actually it's something that perhaps someone in your language lab could do. We use a tool called OLE (Online Learing Environment) at the U of Arizona for students to do oral and video recordings and this is the same tool that I am hoping to use for the AATA sponsored poetry competition which we want to launch this semester. The tech guys have asked me to have a couple people test the OLE at a distance by asking people off campus to log onto OLE and submit some kind of 5 minute oral recitation (it can be a reading of anything) this will also give you an opportunity to see how it works so that when the competition is annouced you'll be one step ahead in terms of organizing your students' participation in it. I have set up an account for the test: What you need to do is: go to the website: http://epsilon.ltc.arizona.edu/ole/oleboard.html log in as follows: username: AATA password: AATA click enter once in, select the conference "AATA 2006 Arabic Poetry Competition (Student) and click enter Select "Long distance test of OLE" and click the + icon in the top right This gets you into the window where you will do and post a recording as follows: Click on *both video and audio* Select 44 khz from drop down menu Click the red button to record a 5 minute audioi and video segment (anyone saying anything really) Clck the square button to stop recording Click post to post the recording Feel free to have whoever is doing this contact me for help if necessary. The computer on which this is done needs a microphone, a webcam and an internet browser with FLASH media plug in. ( a free download) More information about OLE is available here: http:// www.ole.arizona.edu/ The number below is my cellphone and I can be reached on that number anytime.

On April 8, 2006 we will release phase 2 of our ReadVerse system with several new important features. Below is a summary of what we plan to include in phase 3. Before we commence that phase, we would appreciate your review of that summary, and would welcome any suggestions you may have. Phase 2 with major features. 1 - Search the entire Holy Quran in Arabic by one word using Arabic Abacus. http://www.readverse.com/1000_arabic/200_vowels/search_methods/ 100_quran_word_full.html 2 - Search the entire Holy Quran in Arabic by two words using Arabic Abacus. http://www.readverse.com/1000_arabic/200_vowels/search_methods/ 140_quran_2_words_full.html 3 - Search the entire Holy Quran in Arabic or English for a certain subject. 4 - The subject search engine is still under construction and it will include subjects like: Democracy, Justice, Peace, Family, Marriage, and so on. http://www.readverse.com/1000_arabic/200_vowels/search_methods/ 120_quranic_topics.html 5 - Listen, read, write, and speak several suras of the Holy Quran http://www.readverse.com/1000_arabic/3000_suras/s_list_all_suras/ ar_100_list_all_suras.html/ http://www.readverse.com/1000_arabic/3000_suras/s_list_all_suras/ en_100_list_all_suras.html/ 6 - Students can take exams and send the results directly to their teachers. http://www.readverse.com/1000_arabic/3000_suras/s114/v000/sg001/ ar_examnolk_s114_v000_sg001.html http://www.readverse.com/1000_arabic/3000_suras/s114/v000/sg001/ en_examnolk_s114_v000_sg001.html 7 - Vocal apparatus animation for Arabic letter ?Sod?. http://www.readverse.com/1000_arabic/250_vocal_appratus_letters/ hard_palate_letters/1400_sod/1400_sod_letter.html Phase 3 suggestions: A - Arabic Abacus as a full text editor for Arabic language: There are16 different, Arabic character sets that are used by Middle East Arab countries. These character sets are not compatible. Our new Arabic Abacus, however, resolves this compatibility issue, and will eliminate the need for installing any additional software on your system. You will be able to write any Arabic document, save it as a file, send that file to your respondent who can open it, make changes using the Arabic Abacus, and then send that file back to you. An example of the usage of Arabic Abacus would be a Quran teacher who composes a document, and sends it as an exam file from Los Angeles, California, USA, to a student in Cairo, Egypt. And please remember that the B - Lesson-maker Software: This proposed new software will assist teachers and students. A teacher would be able to use the software to type a lesson, question, and the expected correct answers. Students can take a lesson or a quiz on their own pace and the software will match the answers to the expected correct answers. The software will send the grade back to a student and a copy to the instructor; an instructor may suppress sending either the grade or the feedback.

Following is a brief description: The Cornell Arabic program integrates spoken Arabic with Modern Standard Arabic (MSA) in a way that reflects the use of the language by native speakers. Arabs use a spoken dialect for ordinary conversation and MSA for reading, writing, and formal speech. The Cornell program introduces spoken Arabic and MSA simultaneously, using each variety as it is used in real life. The four language skills of listening, speaking, reading, and writing are developed with a focus on communication (i.e., understanding the language and communicating ideas in it) rather than on the study of grammar. An important objective of the program is familiarizing students with basic facts about the geography, history, and culture of the Arab world. Courses offered: * NES 111 Elementary Arabic I (June 5-June 30, 2006) * NES 112 Elementary Arabic II (July 6-August 3, 2006) This two-course sequence provides a thorough grounding in the four language skills of listening, speaking, reading, and writing. Short stories, anecdotes, and dialogues reflecting real life experiences with an element of authenticity and humor are used to develop the listening and speaking skills. Reading and writing are developed through a "mini-course" in Arabic on Arab history, geography, and culture. The readings start with short phrases describing Arab countries, cities, and people, and end with page-long biographies of important Arab historical figures. Songs, Jeopardy-type games, crossword puzzles and other vocabulary-building activities that recycle the words of the listening, speaking, and reading materials are used to enhance the learning and retention of vocabulary and grammatical structures. There is no prerequisite for NES 111. The prerequisite for NES 112 is NES 111 or one semester of Arabic. * NES 113 Intermediate Arabic I (June 5-June 30, 2006) * NES 210 Intermediate Arabic II (July 6-August 3, 2006) This two-course sequence continues the development of the four language skills through the extensive use of carefully selected graded materials on a variety of topics. The materials have been selected with the goal of generating lively classroom discussions and mastering vocabulary and structures that are useful in real-life situations in an Arabic-speaking environment outside of the classroom. While more attention is given to developing native-like pronunciation and to grammatical accuracy than in NES 111-112, the main focus of the course is on encouraging fluency and facility in understanding the language and communicating ideas in it. In addition to building on the linguistic foundation started in NES 111-112, the course continues the practice of introducing students to Arab society, history, and culture through the use of folktales, songs, poems, newspaper articles, and short stories depicting different aspects of Arab life and culture. The prerequisite for NES 113 is NES 112 or one year of Arabic. The prerequisite for NES 210 is NES 113 or equivalent. Each of the four courses carries four credits and is equivalent to a semester of language study at Cornell. Students will have the option of signing up for one or both courses in each sequence.
