Greetings / tahaiya tayyiba wa b3ad...

FWI:  There is an impressive CALL Arabic diagnostic/learning software
called "Zayed" in use at Zayed University in UAE. Contact there
is/was Dr. Ahmed Taher Hassanein.

The Zayed program was developed in the early 1990s and used at UAE
University in Al-Ain, Abu Dhabi for assessing and placing Emirati
nationals admitted to the university. I saw it in use at UAEU during
the fall of 1995 when I was escort/liaison/facilitator for a group of
American student attending a special Gulf Arabic course there. Dr.
Ahmed Taher apparently transferred the program when he moved to Zayed
U., which features that program on a page in its web site.

HTH.

Khair, in sha' Allah.

Regards from Los Angeles (San Pedro),

Stephen H. Franke
