Abstract:

For decades, students learning the Arabic language have begun with Modern
Standard Arabic (MSA) and then transitioned to learning spoken Arabic. While
the MSA-first approach neither reflects the sociolinguistic reality of the
language nor gives students the communicative skills required to fully
function in Arabic, the field continues to debate the widespread adoption of
this approach. Little research or evidence has been presented about the
effectiveness of integrating dialect in the curriculum. With the recent
publication of textbooks that integrate dialect in the Arabic curriculum,
however, a more systematic analysis of such integration is clearly becoming
necessary.

In this seminal volume, Mahmoud Al-Batal gathers key scholars who have
implemented integration to present data and research on the method's success.
The studies address curricular models, students' outcomes, and attitudes of
students and teachers using integration in their curricula. This volume is an
essential resource for all teachers of Arabic language and those working in
Teaching Arabic as a Foreign Language (TAFL).
