Subject: When to teach root and pattern system

When it comes to instructing students in root-and-pattern morphology and
vocabulary learning strategies, my philosophy is along the lines of the old
Tammany Hall political maxim "Vote early and vote often." Introduce some
version of this concept as early as students are prepared to understand it
(a few useful ideas have already been suggested by other commenters), and
then reinforce this with increasing complexity throughout the first two
years of the curriculum.

An apposite reference is Giselle Khoury's 2008 dissertation "Vocabulary
Acquisition in Arabic as a Foreign Language: the Root and Pattern
Strategy." One of her recommendations is that "the root and patterns system
be trained starting as early as the first semester as an integral part of
lexical development activities."

Best,

Robert

Subject: Hadramawt Etymology Response


*المعنى اللغوي لحضرموت فهو دار الموت ، (1) ويقال أن أول اسم لحضرموت هو
(عبدل ) (2) وربما*
*أصله عبد ال بإضافة (عبد) إلى كلمة (آل ) فخفف . و (ال وايل ) ، ذكره أكثر
العلماء . وفي أسماء ملوك حضرموت القدماء ما هو مضاف إلى ( ال ) ، مثل يدع ال
ملك حضرموت (3) وقال بعضهم : إن حضرموت كانت تسمى ( وبارا ) ، (4) وفي حين يرى
البعض الآخر الاسم الحقيقي لحضرموت هو وادي الأحقاف (5) وقد ورد هذه اللفظة في
القران الكريم في قوله تعالى : ( واذكر أخا عاد إذ انذر قومه بالأحقاف ) (6) .
وقد ورد اسمها في الكتابات العربية الجنوبية (7) . أما عند الهمداني فتعني
الجزء الأصغر من اليمن ، وأنها نسبت إلى حضرموت بن حمير الأصغر ، فغلب عليها
اسم ساكنها ، كما قيل خيوان ونجران والمعنى بلد حضرموت وبلد خيوان ووادي نجران
، لان هؤلاء رجال نسبت إليهم المواضع ( 8) . في حين فسر الشيخ محمد بن ريس
الكثيري اسم حضرموت ، قائلا : اسم حضرموت مركب تركيبا مزجيا إذ هو مكون من
كلمتي ( حضرم ) و ( موت ) ، وان حضرم هو الأب الأكبر للقبائل الحضرمية القديمة
، وانه المشار إليه في الإصحاح العاشر من سفر التكوين ( التوراة ) باسم (
Hadoram ) ( 9) كما ذكره الهمداني أيضا بوصفه الابن الثامن والعشرين . وفي
رواية أخرى لابن السادس والثلاثون لقحطان ( 10) أما كلمة ( موت ) فهي محرفة من
كلمة ( متو ) البابلية ومعناها الأرض أو المنطقة . ولا يخفى ما كان من التشابه
بين البابلية واللهجات العربية الجنوبية (11) . وعليه فان اسم ( حضرموت ) أي (
ارض حضرم ) أو ( منطقة حضرم ) حرفت عبر العصور ، من الاسم المزجي لحضرموت ،
وهو ( متو حضرم ) . ثم ادغم أحدا الميمن من الاسم ( حضرموت ) مع تكرر التلفظ ،
فصارت كلمتا الاسم ( حضرم موت ) كلمة واحدة هي ( حضرموت ) ( 12) . في حين يميل
المؤرخ صلاح البكري إلى " أن سبب تسمية حضرموت بهذا الاسم ما ذكره بعض
المؤرخين ، من أن عامر بن قحطان أول من نزل الاحقاف ، فكان إذا حضر حربا ،
أكثر من القتل فصاروا يقولون عند حضوره حضرموت ، ثم صار ذلك له لقب وصاروا
يقولون للارض التي بها قبيلته هذه ارض حضرموت ثم اطلق على البلاد نفسها " (13)
والى هذا الراي مال المستشار البريطاني انجرامس الذي راى ان اصل الكلمة يدل
على قبيلة ، استقرت منذ فترة موغلة في القدم في هذا الوادي فحمل اسمها ( 14) .*

 WORKSHOP ON Free/Open-Source Arabic Corpora and Corpora Processing Tools

http://www.kacstac.org.sa/osact/index.html

  May 27, 2014
  Co-located with LREC 2014
  Harpa Conference Centre, Reykjavik (Iceland)

  DEADLINE FOR PAPERS: February 10, 2014
https://www.softconf.com/lrec2014/OSACT/

============================================================
Workshop description

For Natural Language Processing (NLP) and Computational Linguistics (CL)
communities, it was a known situation that Arabic is a resource poor
language. This situation was thought to be the reason why there is a lack
of corpus based studies in Arabic. However, the last years witnessed the
emergence of new considerably free Arabic corpora and in lesser extent
Arabic corpora processing tools.

Freely available Arabic corpora can be divided into two groups. The first
group contains large Arabic corpora, which are designed and constructed
basically for Arabic linguistics research and activities, and maybe for
Arabic NLP. These corpora are diverse in the genres they cover and their
sizes range from one million words to 700 million words. The second group
contains corpora that were designed basically for Arabic text
classification and clustering, they mainly contain newspapers' articles.
They range from less than 1 million words to 11 million words.

Some Arabic corpora are available on the web to explore using different
tools, basically large corpora, while other corpora are only available for
download. For the corpora that are available for download, the user may
need to use standalone corpus processing tools. These tools contain many
functionality such as word frequency, concordance, collocation, etc.
Therefore, with the availability of large and diverse Arabic corpora, the
situation does not change. There is still a lack of Arabic corpus base
studies. Is this because of representativeness of these corpora? The
available functions and tools associated with these corpora? or is it
because they are not well known enough for the Arabic linguistics community?


Motivation and topics of interest

This half-day-workshop aims to encourage the researchers and developers to
foster the utilization of freely available Arabic corpora and open source
Arabic corpora processing tools and help in highlighting the drawbacks of
these resources and discuss techniques and approaches on how to improve
them. The workshop topics include but not limited to:


  *       Surveying and criticizing the design of freely available Arabic
corpora, their associated tools and stand alone Arabic corpora processing
tools.
  *       The applications and uses of freely available Arabic language
resources in fields such as Arabic language education e.g. L1 and L2.
  *       Arabic language modeling.
  *       Corpus based Arabic lexigraphy.
  *       Lexical semantics and word sense.
  *       Corpus based Arabic syntactic.
  *       Corpus based Arabic morphology.
  *       Development of Arabic mobile applications based on the available
Arabic language resources.
  *       Evaluation and assessment of Arabic Corpora and Corpora
Processing Tools.
  *       Future directions of Free/Open Arabic Corpora and Corpora
Processing Tools.

Dear Francesco,
I am totally unaware of the existence of such a corpus, and I have been
lecturing Legal Translation from Arabic into Spanish for many years. I have
been trying to set up something like what you are asking for. It is not so
difficult nowadays resorting to web sites of Ministries of Justice. My
little corpus is nothing fancy though... But if you are interested in
Arabic and Legal Discourse, please contact me.
Animo Francesco. Un saludo.

Subject: Are dates for translation course correct?

[moderator's note: this is a good opportunity to remind those who post to
Arabic-L that it is not the kind of list that posts messages immediately.
 I try to post at least once a week, but there are certain times of the
year (often August and December) where it is even less frequent than that.
 This means that if you are announcing something that is happening right
away, the post may come after the actual event.]

Hello,

I just read the email about the translation course and am wondering if the
dates are correct. It sounds like a great program but it lists the start
date in December 2013.

If that's not the case could you let me know?

Thanks very much,

Erica Lush

Subject: When to teach the root and pattern system

When it comes to instructing students in root-and-pattern morphology and
vocabulary learning strategies, my  recommendations is that "the root and
patterns system be trained starting as early as the first semester as an
integral part of
lexical development activities.Introduce some version of this concept as
early as students are prepared to understand it.
(a useful idea  to start with , is the root for كتب and explain that ك-ت-ب
is the root for the wordsكتاب-مكتوب This is taken from my practical
experience in the University of Alabama for three years. Root and pattern
system served as a reminder for the word كتاب.

Timing for introducing root and pattern system led me into asking students
to form their own ""on line dictionary. the triumphant feeling that
students were able to find a relationship between meaning and the root ،
and generating new meanings through (اشتقاق) was rewarding to me. I dare
say that it was successful experience.

Meeting Description:

In a changing and complex world, the Arab region is witnessing
unprecedented transformation on all fronts. The politics may be worrying
and the economies unsettling, yet this region endured many injuries and
traumas in the past and survived all forms of hardship, least of which are
the climate and natural environment. However, the greatest challenge for
this region is how to cope with an ever-changing world in an era of
instantly accessible, synchronous communication. How can this region deal
with the ever-changing discourse, the ever-changing culture, the
ever-changing need for interaction with the other?

This conference explores issues of interconnectedness in a context of
change in language, thought, and culture, and what they entail for the
study of linguistics, literature and translation.

Call for Papers:

You are invited to participate in the International Conference on Language,
Literature and Translation: Power to Connect in a Changing World that will
be held on 22-25 April 2014 at the Faculty of Foreign Languages, University
of Jordan, Amman-Jordan. Selected refereed papers of the conference will be
published in a special volume of International Journal of Arabic-English
Studies(IJAES), the journal of The Association of Professors of English &
Translation at Arab Universities (APETAU).

Subject: Cornell Arabic Teachers Workshop

Good Afternoon-

Cornell University will be holding an Arabic Teachers Workshop , August 15
& 16, 2014 in Ithaca, NY.

The workshop will be open to about 20 Arabic teachers and program directors
who are interested in learning about the Integrated Approach and its actual
implementation in the Arabic classroom.

The two-day workshop will be led by Jonathan Featherstone, Senior Teaching
Fellow at the University of Edinburgh; Maher Awad, Senior Lecturer of
Arabic and Certified ACTFL & ILR Tester at Rice University; and Munther
Younes, Reis Senior Lecturer in Arabic Language and Linguistics and
Director of the Arabic Program at Cornell University.

Munther Younes will focus on the rationale behind the "Integrated Approach"
and the problems and challenges raised against it. He will also demonstrate
the use of materials from the three-volume, fully-integrated textbook
series 'Arabiyyat al-Naas, which he coauthored and which is due to be
published by Routledge in the fall of 2013 and the spring of 2014.

Jonathan Featherstone will deliver training sessions focusing on applying
the Integrated Approach to communicative reading and speaking activities
and will help teachers design their own language drills.

Maher Awad will focus on issues of assessment, especially proficiency
assessment, and discuss similarities and differences between the assessment
tools employed in the Integrated vs. the non-integrated approaches, with
special reference to the ACTFL proficiency guidelines.

For more information and to reserve your spot in the workshop, please email

Conceptualizing the Global University
http://www.aus.edu/iccgu

Call for Papers
May 3-4, 2014

American University of Sharjah
PO Box 26666, Sharjah, UAE
www.aus.edu

Conference Overview
Situated in the UAE, twenty kilometers from Dubai, American University of
Sharjah (AUS) is a pioneer among the new universities in the Arabian Gulf.
It will be hosting a conference on the Global University on May 3 and 4,
2014.
The Global University has emerged as a new force in education through the
delocalization of the site of learning. It is manifested in the growth of
global network universities undertaken by various Western universities to
enable students and faculty to study and conduct research at different
poles around the world. It is also manifested in the spread of branch
campuses in different parts of the world which, although by no means a new
phenomenon, are increasingly used to generate not only profit but also
prestige for both the university and the host. Finally, indigenous
universities are increasingly adopting a globalized and standardized
curriculum to remain competitive.
The Symposium on the Global University, an interdisciplinary project at AUS
which held its first workshop in May 2013, connects scholars from different
backgrounds and interests to develop a series of frameworks for better
understanding the changing university. The conference Conceptualizing the
Global University will build on that effort by bringing together scholars
from the Middle East, Asia, Europe and North America who are interested in
the ways in which universities have recently been used to contribute to
national and regional development and are embedded in global
transformations.  Researchers whose work focuses on areas such as
transnational education, the impact of universities locally (as well as
globally), the transformations caused by technological change on academic
life and the future of universities are invited to submit paper proposals.
 This conference will contribute to the task of better understanding the
ways in which universities—particularly in the Middle East, Africa and
Eurasia—are developing within, apart and a pace from a globalized world.
The symposium aims to explore the university from a number of perspectives
which reflect both local and global considerations.  To begin with, while
we are interested in the broader global experience, special attention will
be given to those papers which focus upon universities in the Arabian Gulf.
 In addition, the importance of historical developments will be addressed
because they provide a basis both for the “colonial university” and the
postcolonial issues which continue to define education and the production
of knowledge.  Accordingly, we are interested in papers that explore the
cultural and linguistic challenges which punctuate the full range of
globalized university activities. Submissions which investigate the many
features of the “crisis”’ of the contemporary university will be welcomed
as well.  The symposium also invites scholars who are motivated to probe
both the benefits and pitfalls associated with technological change (MOOCs,
e-learning, etc.) to connect these themes to the wider conversation about
the “global university” and its futures.  Finally, drawing many of these
themes together, we look forward to presentations which investigate the
viability and sustainability of both new universities (include branch
campuses) and the programmatic changes which have taken place in older
institutions.
Potential topics include:

The History of the Global University
Papers may explore the rich history of processes which help to contribute
to the shaping of the Global University.  The symposium welcomes
historically oriented papers on any facet of the globalized university and
particular attention will be devoted to those which explore the following:
•       The emergence of universities in the Arabian Gulf and MENA region;
•       Governance and authority in colonial universities;
•       Colonial and postcolonial universities, and the emergence of the
Global University.

The Viability of the Global University Model
There is a widespread concern among stakeholders, students and university
staff that universities are under attack.  This concern extends to the
Global University. Potential papers might investigate topics such as:
•       The increased corporatization of universities;
•       The growth of standardization and regimes of accreditation;
•       The relationship between industry, government and the Global
University; and,
•       The overall viability of the explosion of universities.

Language and Culture
The growth of the Global University offers unique challenges to language
and culture. Papers might interrogate topics such as:
•       The role of language in the Global University and its relationship
to national identity;
•       The transformation of language and culture into commodities, inside
and alongside the Global University;
•       The potential for Arabic as a language for knowledge production,
particularly in the Gulf.

Deadlines
Abstracts (300-500 words) and short biographies (200 words) should be sent
to
Sgu-committee at aus.edu by February 1, 2013. Informal queries can be sent to
Dr. Stephen L. Keck at skeck at aus.edu. Limited funding for presenters will
be available. Decisions will be communicated to all submitters byFebruary 20 to
enable presenters to organize their travel.

Subject: Needs Arabic language resources on language and identity

Greetings, colleagues!

I am seeking recent (i.e., published in the last five years)
Arabic-language articles and/or books treating the relationship between the
Arabic language and identity-- anything focusing on North Africa would be
especially helpful. Such resources are surprisingly hard to find, so I was
hoping some of you might be able to point me in the right direction.

Fingers crossed (and many thanks in advance),

January 13th is the birthday of the Prophet Muhammad (p.b.u.h.). Though
it’s not an official feast of Islam and not all Muslims celebrate it,
Egyptian customs around Al-Mulid al-Nabawi (المولد النبوي) go back to the
Fatimid caliphate, which ended in the 12th century CE.

Arab Academy's Arabic blog is for all those interested in the language,
history, and culture of the Middle East. We discuss topics such as:
learning Arabic, study abroad programs in Egypt, Arabic calligraphy, Arabic
courses, Arabic language, Arabic online, Arab culture, Arab history, Arab

Dear Aja,

This article may be related to what you are looking for, although it is
more linguistics than literature:

Habib, Rania. 2011. Meaningful variation and bidirectional change in rural
child and adolescent language. University of Pennsylvania Working Papers in
Linguistic 17(2), 81-90, Article 10. Available at:
http://repository.upenn.edu/pwpl/vol17/iss2/10

Be also on the look out for an article by me that is supposed to appear in
Language Variation and Change in March. I have also two other articles in
the workings, but those are still submitted drafts that may take a little
while before they come out. I hope this helps.

Best regards,

Program location: Amman, Jordan

The 8-week Arizona in Jordan summer program offers Modern Standard Arabic
(intermediate and advanced levels) and Jordanian Colloquial Arabic
(beginning and intermediate levels). Courses include 120 classroom hours
and 20 hours with a peer language partner. While most programs offer
colloquial Arabic as a smaller component of their MSA courses, our program
in Jordan offers the opportunity to spend an entire summer focusing just on
colloquial Arabic.

Students may also choose to enroll in the 3-credit “Contemporary
Ethnography of the Middle East” course, a hands-on exploration of Jordanian
culture and society, culminating in an individual ethnographic fieldwork
project on café culture in Amman.

During their time in Amman, students have the choice of living with a
homestay family or in a self-catered apartment. Academic excursions include
trips to Wadi Rum, Petra, the Dead Sea, Jerash, and Ajloun.

For program details and information on the contemporary ethnography course,

Teaching Languages Using Technology

4-week Online Course for World Language Teachers

February 15 - March 15, 2014

Educators are increasingly expected to integrate technology in their
curriculum design and teaching practices. This online course is designed
specifically for teachers of world languages, including those teaching
“less commonly taught languages” (LCTLs) such as Arabic, Persian, and
Chinese. The course content is presented in English by experts in language
pedagogy and education technology, but assignments are designed for you to
use the “target language” that you teach in your classroom.

Through the appropriate and effective use of technology, you can design
lessons and assessments that meet the ACTFL standards for teaching world
languages (5 Cs), supporting development of your students’ reading,
writing, speaking and listening skills. Engage your students, today’s
“digital natives,” by using interactive activities, digital storytelling
projects, online assessments, and other empowering tools and strategies
you’ll learn about in this course.

Key Features:

   -

   Learn and get help from a live Online Instructor throughout the
   five-part course.
   -

   Access the course materials online from your computer at any time, from
   anywhere.
   -

   Go at your own pace, committing about an hour per day on average, to
   stay on schedule.
   -

   Expand your professional network of language education peers across the
   nation.
   -

   Reflect on your experience with colleagues during an end-of-course
   online webinar.
   -

   Receive a Professional Development Certificate upon successful
   completion of the course.


Course Content:

   -

   14 video presentations by experts in technology and language instruction.
   -

   PDF Notes of the Powerpoint slides shown in the presentations.
   -

   Online quizzes to help you check your comprehension.

To benefit from this course, you should be comfortable using computers in
general. This course is not for absolute beginners, nor is it for very
technology-savvy individuals. It is designed for language educators who
have not had extensive experience with education technology and the online
tools mentioned in the list of topics above.


"I can say this is the best course I have ever taken in educational
technology. It is so straightforward that any teacher with the minimum
technological qualifications can follow, understand, and practice all the
beautiful tools I have learned. I will take it all back to my school and
share it with my colleagues and make a difference in our students' lives."
- Al Sadiq, Arabic Instructor

"Thank you for setting up such a course and thank you to all the lecturers.
I learned a lot about using technology. It was great to know about most of
the websites and how to use them. I think the most efficient part of this
course was assignments. I learned from assignments a lot."  - Emre, Turkish
Instructor

"This workshop was a very meaningful experience for me, both professionally
and personally. I felt connected, engaged, and intrigued throughout. It was
a wonderful combination of transformational learning and access to
specific, highly useful strategies that I will use in my teaching." -
Shahla,
Persian Instructor

"I learned a lot from the workshop, including all available online
resources, how to incorporate technology into language class, how to use
technological tools to assess students' learning, how to engage students in
diverse ways. The learning experience was really practical, useful,
intellectual and hands-on. The online lectures with demonstration equipped
me with solid theory and good practice. Homework feedback and grades
encourages me to continue to do well. Highly Recommended!" - Yan, Chinese
Instructor

Subject: New Book:Jurji Zaidan's Contributions to Modern Arabic Literature

Dear All,
I am pleased to inform you of the publication of Jurji Zaidan’s
Contributions to Modern Arab Thought and Literature. This volume consists
of essays commissioned by the Zaidan Foundation for a Symposium sponsored
by the Library of Congress and the Zaidan Foundation held at the Library of
Congress on June 5 2012. The twelve essays were prepared by a group of
eminent scholars in literature, history and other disciplines from the
Universities of Columbia, Harvard, Pennsylvania, Toronto, UCLA, the
Sorbonne (Paris), Erlangen-Nurnberg (Germany), St Joseph (Beirut) and the
Library of Alexandria (Egypt) working on the Nahda or Arab awakening of the
late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries and, in particular, on Jurji
Zaidan’s leading role in this movement. For more details see the attached
Press Release and the Zaidan Foundation’s website at
www.zaidanfoundation.org
This volume is now available on-line at various outlets including at

Subject: Ibn Ghazii Institute in Fez, Morocco Intensive Summer program

My name is Fouad Touzani and I am the director of Ibn Ghazi Arabic
Institute.  IGAI is a language, cultural and academic center located in the
historical and cultural capital of Morocco, Fez. Our summer intensive
program offers more than Arabic classes. Students at IGAI, who come from
various universities in the US and Europe, do not only enjoy learning
Arabic from native and very experienced professors (most of whom taught
Arabic in the US as Fulbright scholars) but they also have the opportunity
to:

·         Attend lectures on various issues related to the Arab and Muslim
world such as women’s rights in Islam, media in the Arab world and Islam in
the West, to name a few.

· Take part in a variety of cultural activities and events which allow
students to get an authentic cultural experience.

·         Travel to many Moroccan cities and experience the rich and
diverse cultures and regions of Morocco.

·         Live in and explore the imperial city of Fez which remains the
biggest medieval city in the world and one of the few remaining ones.

·         Experience the wonderful beauty of the Moroccan craftsmanship
through visiting workshops and learning the basics.

We, at IGAI, are proud to announce that we are going to host the Fullbright
Hays program in the summer of 2014 in collaboration with an American
University which got the grant from the US Department of Education. Around
14 American professors will come to our institute for a six-week program
which includes Arabic teaching as a core activity in addition to various
other activities such as lectures, cultural excursions, calligraphy
workshops and many others. This testifies to the success of IGAI in winning
the trust of American institutions of higher education.

I invite you to take a look at our website http://www.igai-fez.com for more
information. I will be very grateful if you could forward the info to your
students.

I will be happy to answer any question you or your students might have.


Warmest regards

Fouad

Subject: Workshop on Language Resources and Evaluation for Religioius Texts
at LREC

*2nd Workshop on Language Resources and Evaluation for Religious Texts
(LRE-Rel2)*

*31st May 2014 (afternoon session): Harpa Conference Center, Reykjavik,
Iceland*

*http://www.comp.leeds.ac.uk/arabic/lre-rel2.html
<http://www.comp.leeds.ac.uk/arabic/lre-rel2.html> *



*First Call for Papers: *

After a successful launch at *LREC 2012*, we are organising a second
workshop on *Language Resources and Evaluation for Religious Texts* hosted
by *LREC 2014* in Reykjavik, Iceland. This is an inclusive workshop title,
aimed at researchers with a generic interest in religious texts to raise
awareness of different perspectives and practices, and to identify some
common themes. Our first workshop attracted a range of scholarship,
particularly on Arabic and Islamic Studies, and this year we are keen to
extend this range to canonical texts from other languages and religions -
Christian, Jewish, Sikh, Buddhist, and other - and, given the Icelandic
venue, to iconic texts from historical religions such as *The Prose
Edda*of Norse mythology. We are also keen to foster inter-faith corpus
studies,
tracing similarities as well as differences in religious texts, where this
genre includes: the faith-defining religious canon; authoritative
interpretations and commentary; sermons, liturgy, prayers, poetry, and
lyrics.



*Workshop Attendance:*

Prospective authors should note that attendance at the workshop is
necessary for their paper to be published in the workshop proceedings,
though for papers with multiple authors, only one author will be required
to attend. Therefore, prospective authors are strongly encouraged to check
the *LREC* website and other sources for information on visa restrictions,
and likely travel and hotel costs.



*Workshop Topics:*

Submissions are invited for (but not limited to) the following topics:

·       measuring semantic relatedness between multiple religious texts and
corpora from different religions;

·       analysis of ceremonial, liturgical, and ritual speech; recitation
styles; speech decorum; discourse analysis for religious texts;

·       formulaic language and multi-word expressions in religious texts;

·       suitability of modal and other logic types for knowledge
representation and inference in religious texts;

·       issues in, and evaluation of, machine translation in religious
texts;

·       text-mining, stylometry, and authorship attribution for religious
texts;

·       corpus query languages and tools for exploring religious corpora;

·       dictionaries, thesaurai, Wordnet, and ontologies for religious
texts;

·        (new) corpora and rich and novel annotation schemes for religious
texts;

·       annotation and analysis of religious metaphor;

·       genre analysis for religious texts;

·       application in other disciplines (*e.g.* theology, classics,
philosophy, literature) of computer-mediated methods for analysing
religious texts.



*Important Dates: *

19.02.2014                  Deadline for paper submissions

05.03.2014                  Notification of acceptance

Subject: Survey of Free Arabic Corpora

Dear all,

I am conducting an online survey of the current freely available Arabic
corpora / lexicon.

You can fill the form online, it can take only 5-10 minutes.

Online form link :
https://docs.google.com/forms/d/1N2W76d8Uxnzx--0Dj6An2mJr8KzeR0U1rF6pOj6Djjg/viewform

The goal is to create an updated list of freely available Arabic corpora
with a short description for each corpus. The corpus could be from any size
and any format (speech, text, lexicon, machine translation, evaluation. The
only condition is that your corpus should be freely available to the
general research community.

I really appreciate your help if you can fill the form or share it with
your colleagues.

Please feel free to contact me if you have any comments / questions.

Q. What makes Falooka different?
Falooka’s motto: Community Power Learning – built by students for students.

Falooka's game-like flavor encourages Arabic language students to jump-in
selecting one-of-nine "3-Month Challenge programs." Students gain
Ookapoints as they teach lower level students (for money or free); post in
the New Feed on Middle Eastern culture; and form ‘Ookafriends’ with Arabic
language students and native instructors.

Q. Where is Falooka now?
Falooka just finished upgrading to a mobile responsive platform AND is
offering Arabic language students, for the first time, weekly structured
assignments called *Ookapackets.* *Ookapackets* are image driven and
color-coded; designed as a nine-level study program from beginner-low to
superior.

Falooka took seven years to build. Six years of writing, editing, and
testing. Under one year to build a drupal 7 community platform and to move
to a virtual private server. (Jan 2014 the work was acknowledged by the
founders of Drupal, Acquia, resulting in a partnership agreement). News
Feed postings of images and videos can now be shared with Facebook and
Twitter.

Q. How was Falooka tested?
Testing was not postponed to the end of the building cycle. Falooka was
tested throughout the entire 7-year building stretch. Daily. Feedback from
students was continuously addressed.

Students were the major contributors of Falooka. Student questions were
recorded then answered building a memorandum of written grammar
explanations with carefully selected examples. Streets lights of caution
and stop were added for fun. The color-coded materials can be used by 11
years of age learners (with assistance) as well as adult self-learners.
Falooka was tested at New York University's Speak Freely Program and used
by Johns Hopkins University while building. Building started in 2007 (used
to be called Arabic Complete). Falooka strives to incorporate the 5C's
ACTFL standards.

Q. Did Falooka address the diglossic issue?
Yes, Falooka is both in Modern Standard Arabic (MSA) and the Egyptian
dialect. Podcasts, readings, and videos are duplicated in both languages.
All Arabic text was carefully voweled and reviewed over a 4-year period.

Q. Can teachers add to the content?
Yes, teachers can now create quizzes and add videos for their students.
Teachers can tailor and publish lessons.

Q. How much does Falooka cost?
Libraries and language labs: $100/year
Subscribe before Feb 15th: $75/year
(Subscription is for audio access).
Classroom usage rates: http://falooka.com/ookacontent/site-licence/

Setup is easy for over 700 web pages of learning materials (with questions
& answers). Plus, 7,000 audios recorded by native Egyptians, 80 podcasts,
and over 50 videos.

Falooka is confident it can add to the Arabic language learning community
as well as promote cultural exchange.

From: Robert Ricks <rsricks at gmail.com>
Subject: When to teach root and pattern system

When it comes to instructing students in root-and-pattern morphology and
vocabulary learning strategies, my philosophy is along the lines of the old
Tammany Hall political maxim "Vote early and vote often." Introduce some
version of this concept as early as students are prepared to understand it
(a few useful ideas have already been suggested by other commenters), and
then reinforce this with increasing complexity throughout the first two
years of the curriculum.

An apposite reference is Giselle Khoury's 2008 dissertation "Vocabulary
Acquisition in Arabic as a Foreign Language: the Root and Pattern
Strategy." One of her recommendations is that "the root and patterns system
be trained starting as early as the first semester as an integral part of
lexical development activities."

Best,

Robert

 WORKSHOP ON Free/Open-Source Arabic Corpora and Corpora Processing Tools

http://www.kacstac.org.sa/osact/index.html

  May 27, 2014
  Co-located with LREC 2014
  Harpa Conference Centre, Reykjavik (Iceland)

  DEADLINE FOR PAPERS: February 10, 2014
https://www.softconf.com/lrec2014/OSACT/

============================================================
Workshop description

For Natural Language Processing (NLP) and Computational Linguistics (CL)
communities, it was a known situation that Arabic is a resource poor
language. This situation was thought to be the reason why there is a lack
of corpus based studies in Arabic. However, the last years witnessed the
emergence of new considerably free Arabic corpora and in lesser extent
Arabic corpora processing tools.

Freely available Arabic corpora can be divided into two groups. The first
group contains large Arabic corpora, which are designed and constructed
basically for Arabic linguistics research and activities, and maybe for
Arabic NLP. These corpora are diverse in the genres they cover and their
sizes range from one million words to 700 million words. The second group
contains corpora that were designed basically for Arabic text
classification and clustering, they mainly contain newspapers' articles.
They range from less than 1 million words to 11 million words.

Some Arabic corpora are available on the web to explore using different
tools, basically large corpora, while other corpora are only available for
download. For the corpora that are available for download, the user may
need to use standalone corpus processing tools. These tools contain many
functionality such as word frequency, concordance, collocation, etc.
Therefore, with the availability of large and diverse Arabic corpora, the
situation does not change. There is still a lack of Arabic corpus base
studies. Is this because of representativeness of these corpora? The
available functions and tools associated with these corpora? or is it
because they are not well known enough for the Arabic linguistics community?


Motivation and topics of interest

This half-day-workshop aims to encourage the researchers and developers to
foster the utilization of freely available Arabic corpora and open source
Arabic corpora processing tools and help in highlighting the drawbacks of
these resources and discuss techniques and approaches on how to improve
them. The workshop topics include but not limited to:


  *       Surveying and criticizing the design of freely available Arabic
corpora, their associated tools and stand alone Arabic corpora processing
tools.
  *       The applications and uses of freely available Arabic language
resources in fields such as Arabic language education e.g. L1 and L2.
  *       Arabic language modeling.
  *       Corpus based Arabic lexigraphy.
  *       Lexical semantics and word sense.
  *       Corpus based Arabic syntactic.
  *       Corpus based Arabic morphology.
  *       Development of Arabic mobile applications based on the available
Arabic language resources.
  *       Evaluation and assessment of Arabic Corpora and Corpora
Processing Tools.
  *       Future directions of Free/Open Arabic Corpora and Corpora
Processing Tools.

Dear Francesco,
I am totally unaware of the existence of such a corpus, and I have been
lecturing Legal Translation from Arabic into Spanish for many years. I have
been trying to set up something like what you are asking for. It is not so
difficult nowadays resorting to web sites of Ministries of Justice. My
little corpus is nothing fancy though... But if you are interested in
Arabic and Legal Discourse, please contact me.
Animo Francesco. Un saludo.

Subject: Are dates for translation course correct?

[moderator's note: this is a good opportunity to remind those who post to
Arabic-L that it is not the kind of list that posts messages immediately.
 I try to post at least once a week, but there are certain times of the
year (often August and December) where it is even less frequent than that.
 This means that if you are announcing something that is happening right
away, the post may come after the actual event.]

Hello,

I just read the email about the translation course and am wondering if the
dates are correct. It sounds like a great program but it lists the start
date in December 2013.

If that's not the case could you let me know?

Thanks very much,

Erica Lush

Subject: When to teach the root and pattern system

When it comes to instructing students in root-and-pattern morphology and
vocabulary learning strategies, my  recommendations is that "the root and
patterns system be trained starting as early as the first semester as an
integral part of
lexical development activities.Introduce some version of this concept as
early as students are prepared to understand it.
(a useful idea  to start with , is the root for ??? and explain that ?-?-?
is the root for the words????-????? This is taken from my practical
experience in the University of Alabama for three years. Root and pattern
system served as a reminder for the word ????.

Timing for introducing root and pattern system led me into asking students
to form their own ""on line dictionary. the triumphant feeling that
students were able to find a relationship between meaning and the root ?
and generating new meanings through (??????) was rewarding to me. I dare
say that it was successful experience.

Meeting Description:

In a changing and complex world, the Arab region is witnessing
unprecedented transformation on all fronts. The politics may be worrying
and the economies unsettling, yet this region endured many injuries and
traumas in the past and survived all forms of hardship, least of which are
the climate and natural environment. However, the greatest challenge for
this region is how to cope with an ever-changing world in an era of
instantly accessible, synchronous communication. How can this region deal
with the ever-changing discourse, the ever-changing culture, the
ever-changing need for interaction with the other?

This conference explores issues of interconnectedness in a context of
change in language, thought, and culture, and what they entail for the
study of linguistics, literature and translation.

Call for Papers:

You are invited to participate in the International Conference on Language,
Literature and Translation: Power to Connect in a Changing World that will
be held on 22-25 April 2014 at the Faculty of Foreign Languages, University
of Jordan, Amman-Jordan. Selected refereed papers of the conference will be
published in a special volume of International Journal of Arabic-English
Studies(IJAES), the journal of The Association of Professors of English &
Translation at Arab Universities (APETAU).

who are interested in learning about the Integrated Approach and its actual
implementation in the Arabic classroom.

The two-day workshop will be led by Jonathan Featherstone, Senior Teaching
Fellow at the University of Edinburgh; Maher Awad, Senior Lecturer of
Arabic and Certified ACTFL & ILR Tester at Rice University; and Munther
Younes, Reis Senior Lecturer in Arabic Language and Linguistics and
Director of the Arabic Program at Cornell University.

Munther Younes will focus on the rationale behind the "Integrated Approach"
and the problems and challenges raised against it. He will also demonstrate
the use of materials from the three-volume, fully-integrated textbook
series 'Arabiyyat al-Naas, which he coauthored and which is due to be
published by Routledge in the fall of 2013 and the spring of 2014.

Jonathan Featherstone will deliver training sessions focusing on applying
the Integrated Approach to communicative reading and speaking activities
and will help teachers design their own language drills.

Maher Awad will focus on issues of assessment, especially proficiency
assessment, and discuss similarities and differences between the assessment
tools employed in the Integrated vs. the non-integrated approaches, with
special reference to the ACTFL proficiency guidelines.

Conceptualizing the Global University
http://www.aus.edu/iccgu

Call for Papers
May 3-4, 2014

American University of Sharjah
PO Box 26666, Sharjah, UAE
www.aus.edu

Conference Overview
Situated in the UAE, twenty kilometers from Dubai, American University of
Sharjah (AUS) is a pioneer among the new universities in the Arabian Gulf.
It will be hosting a conference on the Global University on May 3 and 4,
2014.
The Global University has emerged as a new force in education through the
delocalization of the site of learning. It is manifested in the growth of
global network universities undertaken by various Western universities to
enable students and faculty to study and conduct research at different
poles around the world. It is also manifested in the spread of branch
campuses in different parts of the world which, although by no means a new
phenomenon, are increasingly used to generate not only profit but also
prestige for both the university and the host. Finally, indigenous
universities are increasingly adopting a globalized and standardized
curriculum to remain competitive.
The Symposium on the Global University, an interdisciplinary project at AUS
which held its first workshop in May 2013, connects scholars from different
backgrounds and interests to develop a series of frameworks for better
understanding the changing university. The conference Conceptualizing the
Global University will build on that effort by bringing together scholars
from the Middle East, Asia, Europe and North America who are interested in
the ways in which universities have recently been used to contribute to
national and regional development and are embedded in global
transformations.  Researchers whose work focuses on areas such as
transnational education, the impact of universities locally (as well as
globally), the transformations caused by technological change on academic
life and the future of universities are invited to submit paper proposals.
 This conference will contribute to the task of better understanding the
ways in which universities?particularly in the Middle East, Africa and
Eurasia?are developing within, apart and a pace from a globalized world.
The symposium aims to explore the university from a number of perspectives
which reflect both local and global considerations.  To begin with, while
we are interested in the broader global experience, special attention will
be given to those papers which focus upon universities in the Arabian Gulf.
 In addition, the importance of historical developments will be addressed
because they provide a basis both for the ?colonial university? and the
postcolonial issues which continue to define education and the production
of knowledge.  Accordingly, we are interested in papers that explore the
cultural and linguistic challenges which punctuate the full range of
globalized university activities. Submissions which investigate the many
features of the ?crisis?? of the contemporary university will be welcomed
as well.  The symposium also invites scholars who are motivated to probe
both the benefits and pitfalls associated with technological change (MOOCs,
e-learning, etc.) to connect these themes to the wider conversation about
the ?global university? and its futures.  Finally, drawing many of these
themes together, we look forward to presentations which investigate the
viability and sustainability of both new universities (include branch
campuses) and the programmatic changes which have taken place in older
institutions.
Potential topics include:

The History of the Global University
Papers may explore the rich history of processes which help to contribute
to the shaping of the Global University.  The symposium welcomes
historically oriented papers on any facet of the globalized university and
particular attention will be devoted to those which explore the following:
?       The emergence of universities in the Arabian Gulf and MENA region;
?       Governance and authority in colonial universities;
?       Colonial and postcolonial universities, and the emergence of the
Global University.

The Viability of the Global University Model
There is a widespread concern among stakeholders, students and university
staff that universities are under attack.  This concern extends to the
Global University. Potential papers might investigate topics such as:
?       The increased corporatization of universities;
?       The growth of standardization and regimes of accreditation;
?       The relationship between industry, government and the Global
University; and,
?       The overall viability of the explosion of universities.

Language and Culture
The growth of the Global University offers unique challenges to language
and culture. Papers might interrogate topics such as:
?       The role of language in the Global University and its relationship
to national identity;
?       The transformation of language and culture into commodities, inside
and alongside the Global University;
?       The potential for Arabic as a language for knowledge production,
particularly in the Gulf.

Deadlines
Abstracts (300-500 words) and short biographies (200 words) should be sent
to
Sgu-committee at aus.edu by February 1, 2013. Informal queries can be sent to
Dr. Stephen L. Keck at skeck at aus.edu. Limited funding for presenters will
be available. Decisions will be communicated to all submitters byFebruary 20 to
enable presenters to organize their travel.

Subject: Needs Arabic language resources on language and identity

Greetings, colleagues!

I am seeking recent (i.e., published in the last five years)
Arabic-language articles and/or books treating the relationship between the
Arabic language and identity-- anything focusing on North Africa would be
especially helpful. Such resources are surprisingly hard to find, so I was
hoping some of you might be able to point me in the right direction.

Fingers crossed (and many thanks in advance),

Dear Aja,

This article may be related to what you are looking for, although it is
more linguistics than literature:

Habib, Rania. 2011. Meaningful variation and bidirectional change in rural
child and adolescent language. University of Pennsylvania Working Papers in
Linguistic 17(2), 81-90, Article 10. Available at:
http://repository.upenn.edu/pwpl/vol17/iss2/10

Be also on the look out for an article by me that is supposed to appear in
Language Variation and Change in March. I have also two other articles in
the workings, but those are still submitted drafts that may take a little
while before they come out. I hope this helps.

Best regards,

Program location: Amman, Jordan

The 8-week Arizona in Jordan summer program offers Modern Standard Arabic
(intermediate and advanced levels) and Jordanian Colloquial Arabic
(beginning and intermediate levels). Courses include 120 classroom hours
and 20 hours with a peer language partner. While most programs offer
colloquial Arabic as a smaller component of their MSA courses, our program
in Jordan offers the opportunity to spend an entire summer focusing just on
colloquial Arabic.

Students may also choose to enroll in the 3-credit ?Contemporary
Ethnography of the Middle East? course, a hands-on exploration of Jordanian
culture and society, culminating in an individual ethnographic fieldwork
project on caf? culture in Amman.

During their time in Amman, students have the choice of living with a
homestay family or in a self-catered apartment. Academic excursions include
trips to Wadi Rum, Petra, the Dead Sea, Jerash, and Ajloun.

For program details and information on the contemporary ethnography course,

Teaching Languages Using Technology

4-week Online Course for World Language Teachers

February 15 - March 15, 2014

Educators are increasingly expected to integrate technology in their
curriculum design and teaching practices. This online course is designed
specifically for teachers of world languages, including those teaching
?less commonly taught languages? (LCTLs) such as Arabic, Persian, and
Chinese. The course content is presented in English by experts in language
pedagogy and education technology, but assignments are designed for you to
use the ?target language? that you teach in your classroom.

Through the appropriate and effective use of technology, you can design
lessons and assessments that meet the ACTFL standards for teaching world
languages (5 Cs), supporting development of your students? reading,
writing, speaking and listening skills. Engage your students, today?s
?digital natives,? by using interactive activities, digital storytelling
projects, online assessments, and other empowering tools and strategies
you?ll learn about in this course.

Key Features:

   Learn and get help from a live Online Instructor throughout the
   five-part course.

   anywhere.

   nation.
   -

   Reflect on your experience with colleagues during an end-of-course
   online webinar.

   completion of the course.

receive a Professional Development Certificate in PDF format. In-service
Credit and College Transfer Credit also available after course completion
for an additional fee.


To benefit from this course, you should be comfortable using computers in
general. This course is not for absolute beginners, nor is it for very
technology-savvy individuals. It is designed for language educators who
have not had extensive experience with education technology and the online
tools mentioned in the list of topics above.


"I can say this is the best course I have ever taken in educational
technology. It is so straightforward that any teacher with the minimum
technological qualifications can follow, understand, and practice all the
beautiful tools I have learned. I will take it all back to my school and
share it with my colleagues and make a difference in our students' lives."
- Al Sadiq, Arabic Instructor

"Thank you for setting up such a course and thank you to all the lecturers.
I learned a lot about using technology. It was great to know about most of
the websites and how to use them. I think the most efficient part of this
course was assignments. I learned from assignments a lot."  - Emre, Turkish
Instructor

"This workshop was a very meaningful experience for me, both professionally
and personally. I felt connected, engaged, and intrigued throughout. It was
a wonderful combination of transformational learning and access to
specific, highly useful strategies that I will use in my teaching." -
Shahla,
Persian Instructor

"I learned a lot from the workshop, including all available online
resources, how to incorporate technology into language class, how to use
technological tools to assess students' learning, how to engage students in
diverse ways. The learning experience was really practical, useful,
intellectual and hands-on. The online lectures with demonstration equipped
me with solid theory and good practice. Homework feedback and grades
encourages me to continue to do well. Highly Recommended!" - Yan, Chinese
Instructor

Subject: Ibn Ghazii Institute in Fez, Morocco Intensive Summer program

My name is Fouad Touzani and I am the director of Ibn Ghazi Arabic
Institute.  IGAI is a language, cultural and academic center located in the
historical and cultural capital of Morocco, Fez. Our summer intensive
program offers more than Arabic classes. Students at IGAI, who come from
various universities in the US and Europe, do not only enjoy learning
Arabic from native and very experienced professors (most of whom taught
Arabic in the US as Fulbright scholars) but they also have the opportunity
to:

?         Attend lectures on various issues related to the Arab and Muslim
world such as women?s rights in Islam, media in the Arab world and Islam in
the West, to name a few.

? Take part in a variety of cultural activities and events which allow
students to get an authentic cultural experience.

?         Travel to many Moroccan cities and experience the rich and
diverse cultures and regions of Morocco.

?         Live in and explore the imperial city of Fez which remains the
biggest medieval city in the world and one of the few remaining ones.

?         Experience the wonderful beauty of the Moroccan craftsmanship
through visiting workshops and learning the basics.

We, at IGAI, are proud to announce that we are going to host the Fullbright
Hays program in the summer of 2014 in collaboration with an American
University which got the grant from the US Department of Education. Around
14 American professors will come to our institute for a six-week program
which includes Arabic teaching as a core activity in addition to various
other activities such as lectures, cultural excursions, calligraphy
workshops and many others. This testifies to the success of IGAI in winning
the trust of American institutions of higher education.

I invite you to take a look at our website http://www.igai-fez.com for more
information. I will be very grateful if you could forward the info to your
students.

I will be happy to answer any question you or your students might have.


Warmest regards

Fouad

Subject: Workshop on Language Resources and Evaluation for Religioius Texts
at LREC

*2nd Workshop on Language Resources and Evaluation for Religious Texts
(LRE-Rel2)*

*31st May 2014 (afternoon session): Harpa Conference Center, Reykjavik,
Iceland*

*http://www.comp.leeds.ac.uk/arabic/lre-rel2.html
<http://www.comp.leeds.ac.uk/arabic/lre-rel2.html> *



*First Call for Papers: *

After a successful launch at *LREC 2012*, we are organising a second
workshop on *Language Resources and Evaluation for Religious Texts* hosted
by *LREC 2014* in Reykjavik, Iceland. This is an inclusive workshop title,
aimed at researchers with a generic interest in religious texts to raise
awareness of different perspectives and practices, and to identify some
common themes. Our first workshop attracted a range of scholarship,
particularly on Arabic and Islamic Studies, and this year we are keen to
extend this range to canonical texts from other languages and religions -
Christian, Jewish, Sikh, Buddhist, and other - and, given the Icelandic
venue, to iconic texts from historical religions such as *The Prose
Edda*of Norse mythology. We are also keen to foster inter-faith corpus
studies,
tracing similarities as well as differences in religious texts, where this
genre includes: the faith-defining religious canon; authoritative
interpretations and commentary; sermons, liturgy, prayers, poetry, and
lyrics.



*Workshop Attendance:*

Prospective authors should note that attendance at the workshop is
necessary for their paper to be published in the workshop proceedings,
though for papers with multiple authors, only one author will be required
to attend. Therefore, prospective authors are strongly encouraged to check
the *LREC* website and other sources for information on visa restrictions,
and likely travel and hotel costs.



*Workshop Topics:*

Submissions are invited for (but not limited to) the following topics:

?       measuring semantic relatedness between multiple religious texts and
corpora from different religions;

?       analysis of ceremonial, liturgical, and ritual speech; recitation
styles; speech decorum; discourse analysis for religious texts;

?       formulaic language and multi-word expressions in religious texts;

?       suitability of modal and other logic types for knowledge
representation and inference in religious texts;

?       issues in, and evaluation of, machine translation in religious
texts;

?       text-mining, stylometry, and authorship attribution for religious
texts;

?       corpus query languages and tools for exploring religious corpora;

?       dictionaries, thesaurai, Wordnet, and ontologies for religious
texts;

?        (new) corpora and rich and novel annotation schemes for religious
texts;

?       annotation and analysis of religious metaphor;

?       genre analysis for religious texts;

?       application in other disciplines (*e.g.* theology, classics,
philosophy, literature) of computer-mediated methods for analysing
religious texts.



*Important Dates: *

19.02.2014                  Deadline for paper submissions

05.03.2014                  Notification of acceptance

You can fill the form online, it can take only 5-10 minutes.

Online form link :
https://docs.google.com/forms/d/1N2W76d8Uxnzx--0Dj6An2mJr8KzeR0U1rF6pOj6Djjg/viewform

The goal is to create an updated list of freely available Arabic corpora
with a short description for each corpus. The corpus could be from any size
and any format (speech, text, lexicon, machine translation, evaluation. The
only condition is that your corpus should be freely available to the
general research community.

I really appreciate your help if you can fill the form or share it with
your colleagues.

Please feel free to contact me if you have any comments / questions.

Q. What makes Falooka different?
Falooka?s motto: Community Power Learning ? built by students for students.

Falooka's game-like flavor encourages Arabic language students to jump-in
selecting one-of-nine "3-Month Challenge programs." Students gain
Ookapoints as they teach lower level students (for money or free); post in
the New Feed on Middle Eastern culture; and form ?Ookafriends? with Arabic
language students and native instructors.

Q. Where is Falooka now?
Falooka just finished upgrading to a mobile responsive platform AND is
offering Arabic language students, for the first time, weekly structured
assignments called *Ookapackets.* *Ookapackets* are image driven and
color-coded; designed as a nine-level study program from beginner-low to
superior.

Falooka took seven years to build. Six years of writing, editing, and
testing. Under one year to build a drupal 7 community platform and to move
to a virtual private server. (Jan 2014 the work was acknowledged by the
founders of Drupal, Acquia, resulting in a partnership agreement). News
Feed postings of images and videos can now be shared with Facebook and
Twitter.

Q. How was Falooka tested?
Testing was not postponed to the end of the building cycle. Falooka was
tested throughout the entire 7-year building stretch. Daily. Feedback from
students was continuously addressed.

Students were the major contributors of Falooka. Student questions were
recorded then answered building a memorandum of written grammar
explanations with carefully selected examples. Streets lights of caution
and stop were added for fun. The color-coded materials can be used by 11
years of age learners (with assistance) as well as adult self-learners.
Falooka was tested at New York University's Speak Freely Program and used
by Johns Hopkins University while building. Building started in 2007 (used
to be called Arabic Complete). Falooka strives to incorporate the 5C's
ACTFL standards.

Q. Did Falooka address the diglossic issue?
Yes, Falooka is both in Modern Standard Arabic (MSA) and the Egyptian
dialect. Podcasts, readings, and videos are duplicated in both languages.
All Arabic text was carefully voweled and reviewed over a 4-year period.

Q. Can teachers add to the content?
Yes, teachers can now create quizzes and add videos for their students.
Teachers can tailor and publish lessons.

Q. How much does Falooka cost?
Libraries and language labs: $100/year
Subscribe before Feb 15th: $75/year
(Subscription is for audio access).
Classroom usage rates: http://falooka.com/ookacontent/site-licence/

Setup is easy for over 700 web pages of learning materials (with questions
& answers). Plus, 7,000 audios recorded by native Egyptians, 80 podcasts,
and over 50 videos.

Falooka is confident it can add to the Arabic language learning community
as well as promote cultural exchange.
