Challenges in Teaching Arabic as a Foreign Language by Dalal Abo El Seoud Pdf

An essential collection of empirical studies on the TAFL (teaching Arabic as a foreign language) classroom experience, by leading professionals in the field Although teaching Arabic as a foreign language (TAFL) has grown inexorably in recent decades, there is a dearth of empirical research on the TAFL classroom experience. In this insightful volume, Dalal Abo El Seoud brings together up-to-date practice-based research and conceptual contributions by eighteen professionals in the field. These address a wide range of challenges in teaching Arabic as a foreign language and ways of overcoming them with a clear eye to twenty-first-century language-learning skills, which advocate communication, collaboration, critical thinking, and creativity. The chapters address curriculum design, teaching Arabic to non-English speakers, trends in the use of technology, motivating students, teaching Arabic language varieties, and teaching language skills. This volume will be an invaluable resource for teachers and teachers in training of TAFL and for scholars and researchers in the field.

Mastering Arabic Through Literature by Iman A. Soliman Pdf

In an innovative approach to teaching Modern Standard Arabic, this new content-based book aims to bolster study for advanced high students in both linguistic skills and literary appreciation through the reading of a wide variety of original modern Arabic poetry by ten prominent writers: Abu al-Qasim al-Shabbi, Mahmoud Darwish, Abd al-Mu'ti Higazi, Said Aql, Fadwa Touqan, Elia Abu Madi, Salah Abdel Sabour, Adonis, Nizar Qabbani, and Ahmad Shawqi. The book aims at enabling students to read, enjoy, and appreciate Arabic poetry through a set of activities-pre-reading; reading; follow-up; and reading alone. These activities facilitate the student's grasp of the structural complexity, lack of conformity to standard grammatical rules, and unfamiliar cultural perspectives that are known to make reading poetry difficult in any language. Mastering Arabic through Literature, Volume 3: Poetry adopts an integrated skills approach that emphasizes all language skills in the effective articulation of ideas and meaningful communication. It also fosters the learning of vocabulary and idiomatic expressions and boosts learners' metaphoric use of the language. The book is divided into four units, each unit drawing on the works of the ten poets to explore and analyze a particular aspect of Arabic poetry. It begins with coverage of the literary theory on modern Arabic poetry. Unit 1 then outlines main topics and issues in modern Arabic poetry, using reading and analysis of excerpts from the works of the poets covered; Unit 2 focuses on imagery in modern Arabic poetry with samples for study from the works of the ten poets; Unit 3 focuses on music in Arabic poetry and how rhythm is used by different poets for different purposes; and Unit 4 focuses on poetic language and style in modern Arabic literature.
