Teaching English to Young Arabic Speakers by Irma-Kaarina Ghosn Pdf

The book explores young Arabic-speaking children's English language learning. Through classroom-based research and learner work samples, the book analyses the interplay between cultural norms and the critical role that teachers play in orchestrating classroom discourse through skillful use of available instructional materials, questioning strategies and feedback to learners. The author shows the potential of instructional materials to influence young learners' vocabulary, reading comprehension, and written production, as well as the way they acquire the academic literacies needed in school subjects taught in English. She reviews the spread of the practice of teaching English to young and very young children and the increasing demand for English-medium instruction in the Arabic-speaking region, with a particular focus on the negative transfer from Arabic to English spelling and grammar. The book also discusses the importance of story narratives, arguing they are an ideal medium for language teaching because of their rich linguistic repertoire and the strong motivational force that stories have on young language learners and their cognitive growth, essential to their later academic success. Taken together, the research findings and classroom vignettes suggest that children's language learning happens within a complex system of interactive variables and cultural norms and expectations.

Once you understand how American English and Arabic sound systems compare, you'll know where the two converge, and diverge. It's the areas of divergence that need attention, and that is what is covered in this guide.TOPICS INCLUDED: Comparing Arabic and English vowel and consonant systemsStrategies for teaching English vowels and consonantsComparing the structure of Arabic and English wordsSoundprints!

Teaching Arabic as a second language in Dubai. The influence of technology and innovation by Mohamed Moghazy Pdf

Seminar paper from the year 2020 in the subject Speech Science / Linguistics, grade: A, University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign, language: English, abstract: The main issue to be examined is the influence of technology and innovation in ASL in Dubai. Faryadi (2007) examined interactive media's role in teaching the Arabic language and discovered that the integration of technology allows instructors to improve their lessons based on achieving effectiveness and creativity in knowledge transfer. Learners are easily persuaded to reason and think critically in the classrooms through interactive media. Arabic as a second language (ASL) is an upcoming social exploration area in Dubai and the larger UAE. However, there is insufficient literature on the subject. Teaching and learning ASL is the subject of increasing controversy. Amara (2017) states that Arabic is the official language in the UAE; however, the majority of the population speaks English because UAE was a British colony until 1971. Given that the UAE is one of the Arab countries, the Arabic language is one of the national curriculum's key subjects apart from Social Studies and Islamic Education. According to AlHagbani, and Khan (2016), over the last few years, there has been the increased significance of teaching the Arabic language for non-Arabic speakers in the UAE with the main objectives being: to develop an awareness of learners about relationships between the Arabic language and Arabic or Islamic culture, enhance awareness of the need for the Arabic language across the world and improve both oral and written communication skills to strengthen the process of obtaining informational literacy level. One divide argued that Arabic was a dying language in the Middle East in the face of the globalized English language, according to Sabbah (2016). Different studies indicate that the other controversial divisions argued that the Arabic language was a growing language in the UAE.

Techniques of Teaching Comparative Pronunciation in Arabic and English by Edward Odisho Pdf

The book is designed for Arabic-speaking students of English and English-speaking students of Arabic. It is based on a cognitive approach to teaching pronunciation: all activities, drills, and instructions are directed to the brain in conjunction with the relevant vocal organs helping students to master many intricacies of pronunciation. Attention is given to subtle differences between Arabic and English in segmental (vowels and consonants) and suprasegmental (clusters, stress, rhythm and intonation) domains, both of which are treated and taught holistically as systems, then identified, described, and taught as natural categories of sounds (subsystems) as well as individual sounds. All techniques of implementation are based on a triangular process of perception, recognition, and production, each phase reinforcing the next which collectively and cognitively prepare the brain to internalize the targeted sound or sound system. As a general demonstration of the approach, the book highlights techniques for teaching some of the most challenging sounds and sound phenomena in both Arabic and English. Edward Y. Odisho was born in Iraq and grew up as a native speaker of Aramaic (Syriac). Through life experience and formal and informal education he acquired high proficiency in several languages, studying English in Iraq before continuing his education in England where he received M.Phil and Ph.D. degrees in phonetic sciences and linguistics. Odisho has been teaching at a variety of levels of education for four decades, the last three at different universities in Iraq, England, and the United States of America. He has published scores of research papers and articles in various international publications and has authored five books, the most recent being Techniques of Teaching Pronunciation in ESL, Bilingual and Foreign Language Classes, Lincom Europa (2003) and A Linguistic Approach to the Application and Teaching of the English Alphabet, Edwin Mellen Press (2004).

Issues in English Education in the Arab World by Rahma Al-Mahrooqi,Christopher Denman Pdf

Though diverse, the Arab world boasts a unique culture and native language, both of which are unlike those found in English-speaking countries. Perhaps due to the nature of these differences, Arab-Western relations have been described as existing on one of the world’s great cultural fault-lines. Debate about the potential effects, both positive and negative, of English-medium education and the learning of English in the region’s schools and universities is one expression of this. Even as debate continues, issues of politics, culture, social mobility, and identity are played out in the English language classrooms of the Arab world on a daily basis. The current volume explores some of the concerns related to the place of English and English-medium education in the Arab world. It examines issues of the relationship between English, Arabic, cultural identity and power in the region within a historical and contemporary framework; the experiences of learners from Arabic-medium secondary schools adjusting to English-medium colleges; and the challenges and potential rewards of promoting student-centered classrooms and technology in traditionally teacher-centered environments. These issues are explored from the perspectives of teachers, students, researchers and other stakeholders in Oman, Saudi Arabia, the UAE, and Sudan.

Learn Arabic by Nizar Hajj Ahmad Pdf

This book was designed to introduce Arabic Alphabet to learners of All ages. The book is in two parts: The Student's Book and the Activity Book. The Student's Book includes the basic lessons with supportive exercises and wordlists. The Activity Book includes the reading and writing activities which reinforce the material covered in the Student's Book. The objective of dividing this work into two books is to make it easier for learners, especially the young ones. To cover all alphabet items and provide sufficient and variant exercises is somehow unachievable within one book as it will become bulky; heavy to carry and handle. The work is divided in a way that it can be used easily and practically. The Student's Book can be used to learn how to read while acquiring new vocabulary items. The Activity Book is to practice writing and reinforce the vocabulary items through various quizzes and exercises. Every word in the book is illustrated with an image to link the visual memory (the identified) to the written form of the word (The identifier). Each chapter is entailed with a word list that includes all the words in the chapter. The words are presented in three aspects: - Arabic - English - Image Although the book is illustrated in a way that it looks like a children's book, it can be practically used by adult learners to learn the alphabet, how to read and build up their vocabulary. The book is originally aimed to introduce Arabic Alphabet to speakers of other languages. However, because it uses English as the main medium to introduce Arabic, the book can be used to increase the English vocabulary of Arab children who are using the book to learn Arabic. Therefore, the book can be used by primary schools in non-Arabic speaking countries or international schools in Arab countries to teach early years pupils. The Student's Book includes 8 chapters. Each of these chapters includes the following sections: 1. Letters and Words 2. Reading exercises 3. Wordlist with images The Activity Book includes relevant chapters to the lessons in the Student's Book. Each chapter includes: - Reading exercises - Quizzes - Colouring activities - Writing activities The parent or teacher can start with the Student's Book and move to the Activity Book whenever they think that the learner is ready to explore and do more exercises.
