Subject: Needs Info on Arabic Writing Proficiency Tests


Dear colleagues,

I am working on the assessment of Arabic writing proficiency and need:

   - a list of all Arabic writing proficiency tests - past, currently in
   use, or under development (I only know of the ACTFL Writing Proficiency
   Test (WPT))
   - any published books, articles, or reports on Arabic writing
   assessment, and
   - any validity studies of any Arabic writing proficiency test

Alf shukr,

Subject: Plea for funding transparency in STARTALK and other program calls
for proposals

On September 13, 2014, the National Foreign Langauge Center posted a call
for proposals on the Arabic-L list serve for its STARTALK program.

The CFP is impressively detailed, but no where does it mention the source
of funding for STARTALK.

The CFP also has a number of links for those who need more information.
None of these, including a FAQ page (https://startalk.umd.edu/faq/proposals/)
state clearly who funds the program.

>From most of the pages that theses links send one, however, one could
always press the “About STARTALK” button.

This, though, takes you to a page not much more elucidating:

"STARTALK is the newest of the component programs of the National Security
Language Initiative (NSLI) announced by former President Bush in January of
2006. The initiative seeks to expand and improve the teaching and learning
of strategically important world languages that are not now widely taught
in the US. Other programs under the NSLI umbrella include Title
VI/Fulbright Hays programs of the US Department of Education, The National
Security Education Program (NSEP) of the US Department of Defense, and
study abroad and exchange programs of the US Department of State.”

Reading this description one would have to guess that STARTALK is funded by
the DOE, the DOS, or the DOD.

STARTALK, according to the following document, is actually funded by the
Office of the Director of National Intelligence Programs:
http://www.aplu.org/NetCommunity/Document.Doc?id=50

One could argue whether this is a good or bad thing.  What is indisputable
is that those applying for funding should very easily be able to know the
source of that funding.

We call on STARTALK and other programs run out of the National Foreign
Langauge Center to be more transparent in listing the sources of funding
for the programs it administers.

معرفية وثقافية وحضارية، تتلمّس أسئلة الذات العربية المركزية أو الهامشية،
الواقعية  أو العبثية أو الوجودية، فضلا عن كل ما
يكشف عن هواجس الذات وهمومها وخيباتها وآمالها.
من هنا، يطمح هذا المؤتمر إلى مساءلة النص العربي القديم في
وجوهه وأقنعته وأليجورياته وتجلياته وأجناسه المختلفة، كما يهدف إلى تسليط
الضوء
على طبيعة الأسئلة الكامنة والخطابات المضمرة أو الهواجس المسكوت عنها في
مدونة الأدب
العربي القديم، كما يرمي إلى تقصّي مبلغ تطور أدوات النقد العربي المعاصر في
قراءة
النص القديم بصفة عامة.
أهداف المؤتمر:
1-  استكشاف
الأسئلة الكبرى في النص الأدبي العربي القديم.
2-  تقصّي
الأسئلة النقدية والفكرية التي انطلق منها النقّاد المعاصرون في مقاربة النص
القديم.
3-  الوقوف
على المنجز النقدي العربي الذي قام حول النص القديم في ضوء النظرية المعاصرة.
4-  تقديم
تجارب نقدية معاصرة تقارب النص القديم من زواياه المختلفة.

محاور المؤتمر:
1-     سؤال النص في التراث النقدي القديم:
(ماهية النص النقدي، النص النقدي بين القِدم والحداثة، مرجعيات النص النقدي
القديم بين الثقافة العربية والثقافات الأخرى،.. إلخ).
2-     مقاربات معاصرة للنص القديم:
(فيلولوجية/ظاهراتية- نفسية/ اجتماعية/ تاريخية- أسلوبية/ شعرية/ بنيوية-
سيميائية- تفكيكية- ثقافية، .. إلخ).
3-     قراءات مغايرة في النص الأدبي القديم:
(سواء من حيث: المادة النصية (العيّنة)، المنهج والأدوات، المداخل البينية،
.. إلخ).
4-     تلقّي الأنواع الأدبية القديمة من منظورات معاصرة:
(الشعر، الخطابة، الرسالة، الرحلة، المقامة، .. إلخ).
5-     من النص إلى الخطاب: استراتيجيات العقل النقدي العربي:
(الغياب/ الحضور، التراكم/ التشارك، الهيمنة/ التحرّر، التحقّق/ الاستلاب،
..إلخ).
6-     النص القديم من منظور استشراقي:
(ألف ليلة وليلة، نص الرحلة، النص الفلسفي، ..إلخ).
7-     آليات حضور النص النقدي التراثي في الخطاب الأكاديمي
المعاصر:
(النص النقدي
والممارسة التأويلية، التلقّي الممكن ونص نقد النقد، .. إلخ).

Subject: Waheed Samy Writing Award Results

Dear Colleagues,

The members of the selection committee  for the Waheed Samy Excellence in
Arabic Writing Award are happy to report to you the results of the 2014
competition.

The recipient of the  2014 award is Mr. Michael Turner . Michael is
originally from Elizabeth City, North Carolina. As an undergraduate he
attended the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill, where he majored
in International Studies and first began his journey with the Arabic
language. After graduating, he volunteered with the United States Peace
Corps in southern Morocco, spending two years working in a youth center in
a rural community. In 2011 he enrolled as a graduate student at the
University of Texas at Austin, where he is now pursuing a Ph.D. in Middle
Eastern Languages and Cultures with a focus on the linguistic history of
Arabic and Berber in North Africa.

We would like to congratulate Mike for this outstanding achievement and
wish him the best with his doctoral program.

The committee would also like to thank the Arabic faculty members who have
helped all participants reach such remarkable levels of proficiency in
Arabic writing. We are fortunate to have such a group of excellent writers
in our midst and we look forward to seeing more of their ibdaa`aat in
Arabic writing in the future.

We encourage all teachers of Arabic at the higher levels to bring this
award to their students' attention. The 2015 competition will take place in
May 2015 and more information will be available in the spring.

Dear colleagues,

I am working on the assessment of Arabic writing proficiency and need:

   - a list of all Arabic writing proficiency tests - past, currently in
   use, or under development (I only know of the ACTFL Writing Proficiency
   Test (WPT))
   - any published books, articles, or reports on Arabic writing
   assessment, and
   - any validity studies of any Arabic writing proficiency test

Subject: Plea for funding transparency in STARTALK and other program calls
for proposals

On September 13, 2014, the National Foreign Langauge Center posted a call
for proposals on the Arabic-L list serve for its STARTALK program.

The CFP is impressively detailed, but no where does it mention the source
of funding for STARTALK.

The CFP also has a number of links for those who need more information.
None of these, including a FAQ page (https://startalk.umd.edu/faq/proposals/)
state clearly who funds the program.

>From most of the pages that theses links send one, however, one could
always press the ?About STARTALK? button.

This, though, takes you to a page not much more elucidating:

"STARTALK is the newest of the component programs of the National Security
Language Initiative (NSLI) announced by former President Bush in January of
2006. The initiative seeks to expand and improve the teaching and learning
of strategically important world languages that are not now widely taught
in the US. Other programs under the NSLI umbrella include Title
VI/Fulbright Hays programs of the US Department of Education, The National
Security Education Program (NSEP) of the US Department of Defense, and
study abroad and exchange programs of the US Department of State.?

Reading this description one would have to guess that STARTALK is funded by
the DOE, the DOS, or the DOD.

STARTALK, according to the following document, is actually funded by the
Office of the Director of National Intelligence Programs:
http://www.aplu.org/NetCommunity/Document.Doc?id=50

One could argue whether this is a good or bad thing.  What is indisputable
is that those applying for funding should very easily be able to know the
source of that funding.

We call on STARTALK and other programs run out of the National Foreign
Langauge Center to be more transparent in listing the sources of funding
for the programs it administers.

Subject: Waheed Samy Writing Award Results

Dear Colleagues,

The members of the selection committee  for the Waheed Samy Excellence in
Arabic Writing Award are happy to report to you the results of the 2014
competition.

The recipient of the  2014 award is Mr. Michael Turner . Michael is
originally from Elizabeth City, North Carolina. As an undergraduate he
attended the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill, where he majored
in International Studies and first began his journey with the Arabic
language. After graduating, he volunteered with the United States Peace
Corps in southern Morocco, spending two years working in a youth center in
a rural community. In 2011 he enrolled as a graduate student at the
University of Texas at Austin, where he is now pursuing a Ph.D. in Middle
Eastern Languages and Cultures with a focus on the linguistic history of
Arabic and Berber in North Africa.

We would like to congratulate Mike for this outstanding achievement and
wish him the best with his doctoral program.

The committee would also like to thank the Arabic faculty members who have
helped all participants reach such remarkable levels of proficiency in
Arabic writing. We are fortunate to have such a group of excellent writers
in our midst and we look forward to seeing more of their ibdaa`aat in
Arabic writing in the future.

We encourage all teachers of Arabic at the higher levels to bring this
award to their students' attention. The 2015 competition will take place in
May 2015 and more information will be available in the spring.
