Book excerpt: Document from the year 2021 in the subject Orientalism / Sinology - Arabistic, grade: "manque", , course: Anglais, language: English, abstract: The purpose of this study is to investigate the impact of Arabic diglossia on formal instruction with special reference to the primary level in Tlemcen schools. It seeks to highlight the sociolinguistic phenomenon ‘diglossia’ and its effect on pupils’ linguistic performance. Recently, clear flaws seem to have been noted in pupils’ linguistic skills in all Arab schools, particularly in first grade level, since most of them have relatively little or no contact with the official language of instruction before formal schooling. In the Algerian policy, Modern Standard Arabic (MSA hereafter) is the language used in classroom settings. However, it is generally agreed among educationists, that the achievement of low levels is mainly linked to the complexities of the literary language used in formal instruction and the various colloquial forms reserved for non-formal contexts. Children acquire Algerian Arabic as a mother tongue, while Standard Arabic is learned later on through access to formal instruction. The pupils’ educational problems and the persistent feelings of linguistic insecurity are directly attributed to diglossia. Through collecting and analyzing data by means of a number of sociolinguistic tools, the researcher tried, in this study, to compare between two school settings to show the extent to which diglossia affects the learning process among first grade pupils by: exploring the variety used in classroom interaction, insisting on the language difficulties encountered by young pupils and detecting their attitudes towards the forms of Arabic used in classroom interaction.

Book excerpt: Arabic diglossia has a great impact on the field of education in general and teaching Arabic in particular. The use of the vernacular in teaching Arabic certainly affects students' linguistic performance and leads to poor proficiency. This book attempts to investigate the impact of diglossia in teaching and learning Arabic in Secondary Schools. It highlights the sociolinguistic phenomenon 'diglossia' with relation to education and its effect on education in general and teaching the Arabic course in particular. Recently, clear deficiencies have been noted in the students' linguistic skills in all Arab schools, particularly at the secondary level. Some educationists attribute that lack of students' linguistic performance to the language variety used by teachers in classroom, particularly those who are teaching the Arabic course. The book significance lies in investigating the variety used in classroom interaction and determining the students' weakness points as regards the use of Modern Standard Arabic when interacting with their teachers. It also investigates the reasons standing behind Arabic teachers' use of the vernacular in teaching Arabic.

This book was released on 2011 with total page 292 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The purpose of this study was to review the core Arabic curriculum in higher education at four-year colleges and language institutions in the United States to find the extent to which these institutions are preparing their students to communicate effectively in the Arab-speaking world after completing the equivalent of six semesters of Arabic or achieving high-intermediate proficiency. This study investigated students' perceptions and learning preferences for spoken Arabic. It also examined instructors' perceptions on teaching preferences of spoken Arabic. The students interviewed for this research had all traveled to the Arabic-speaking world for language immersion study, and were considered to have acquired high-intermediate proficiency. The primary countries of destination were Egypt, Jordan, Lebanon, and Syria. This study was undertaken in direct response to the paucity of literature pertaining to English-speaking learners of Arabic on study abroad. In actual fact, the Modern Language Association's most recent language report states that Arabic enrollment increased more than any other language from 2002 to 2006 (Furman, Goldberg, & Lusin, 2007). With the increase in Arabic enrollment, it is probable that more and more American students will desire to study Arabic in the Arabic-speaking world, and that more research is needed to guide Arabic language instruction and immersion study. Four research questions guided this study. The overall question aimed at finding the impact that diglossia has on the quality of Arabic language instruction of undergraduates students in the United States. To answer this, the second question investigated the students' learning preferences and the third question investigated the instructors' teaching preferences. The last one attempted to find the differences between students who study spoken Arabic before immersion and those who do not. Based on four research questions, the findings of the study indicated that diglossic situations, availability of classes, and usefulness of MSA top the list of the students' and instructors' themes that emerged from data analysis. The study revealed that some Arabic programs are not preparing the students sufficiently in the Arabic spoken language acquisition. However, it also documented that both student and instructor participants think Modern Standard Arabic should continue to hold a prominent place in the Arabic curriculum. The study concludes by providing some recommendations peculiar to the field of teaching Arabic as a foreign language in United States. It also includes a set of areas in which further research is needed as well as the limitations of the study. It is recommended that faculty review the study and use the data to guide curriculum development efforts. This should ultimately result in improved curriculum alignment with the (ACTFL) American Council for Teachers of Foreign Languages standards and improve graduates' performance in speaking competency and fluency in Arabic. It is hoped that this research will provide empirical insights pertaining to the linguistic experiences of the learners of Arabic in the study abroad programs in the Arabic-speaking world.

The second edition features revised sections on diglossia, code-switching, gender discourse, language variation, and language policy in the region while adding a chapter on critical sociolinguistics—a new framework for critiquing the scholarly practices of sociolinguistics. Bassiouney also examines the impact of politics and new media on Arabic language. Arabic Sociolinguistics continues to be a uniquely valuable resource for understanding the theoretical framework of the language.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This volume provides a detailed analysis of language contact in North Africa and explores the historical presence of the languages used in the region, including the different varieties of Arabic and Berber as well as European languages. Using a wide range of data sets, it provides a comprehensive analysis of the mechanisms of language contact under classical diglossia and societal bilingualism, examining multiple cases of oral and written code-switching. It also describes contact-induced lexical and structural change in such situations and discusses the possible appearance of new varieties within the context of diglossia. Examples from past diglossic situations are examined, including the situation in Muslim Spain and the Maltese Islands. An analysis of the current situation of Arabic vernaculars, not only in the Maghreb but also in other Arabic-speaking areas, is also presented. This book will appeal to anyone interested in language contact, the Arabic language, and North Africa.

This book was released on 2010-12 with total page 92 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Arabic language is a difficult language to study due to the existence of two varieties within the same language; that is, its diglossic nature. Consequently, vocabulary acquisition in Arabic seems to suffer because both varieties known as standard Arabic and colloquial Arabic are acquired in different ways and are linguistically distant. Hence, the distance between the two varieties of Arabic affects vocabulary acquisition of the language. This book is based on a research study which explains the relationship between diglossia and vocabulary acquisition. This study includes two objectives. The first objective is to investigate the effect of diglossia on vocabulary acquisition of bilingual Lebanese students in Arabic. The second objective is to determine which vocabulary (Arabic vs. English) students have a preference for. The results showed a significant negative effect between diglossia and vocabulary acquisition. The students showed more confidence in using the English language over Arabic. This book would be useful to professionals in the education field, researchers, and anyone that is interested in the Arabic language.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: 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).

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book provides a synopsis of recently published empirical research into the acquisition of reading and writing in Arabic. Its particular focus is on the interplay between the linguistic and orthographic structure of Arabic and the development of reading and writing/spelling. In addition, the book addresses the socio-cultural, political and educational milieu in which Arabic literacy is embedded. It enables readers to appreciate both the implications of empirical research to literacy enhancement and the challenges and limitations to the applicability of such insights in the Arabic language and literacy context. The book will advance the understanding of the full context of literacy acquisition in Arabic with the very many factors (religious, historical, linguistic etc.) that interact and will hence contribute to weakening the anglocentricity that dominates discussions of this topic.

Book excerpt: I add to the discussion of TAFL by examining the survey and interview results in connection with a second study conducted in Egypt, which investigates native speaker attitudes toward Arabic diglossia and toward different Arabic varieties. This second study also provides insight into broad patterns of native speaker production within the diglossic context. By incorporating this information about native speaker attitudes and production, we are able to re-examine TAFL practices from a fresh perspective, and raise thought-provoking questions about the future direction of the field and how it might better serve its student population(s).

This book was released on 2005-01-20 with total page 274 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In this book, I attempt to show how colonial and postcolonial political forces have endeavoured to reconstruct the national identity of Morocco, on the basis of cultural representations and ideological constructions closely related to nationalist and ethnolinguistic trends. I discuss how the issue of language is at the centre of the current cultural and political debates in Morocco. The present book is an investigation of the ramifications of multilingualism for language choice patterns and attitudes among Moroccans. More importantly, the book assesses the roles played by linguistic and cultural factors in the development and evolution of Moroccan society. It also focuses on the impact of multilingualism on cultural authenticity and national identity. Having been involved in research on language and culture for many years, I am particularly interested in linguistic and cultural assimilation or alienation, and under what conditions it takes place, especially today that more and more Moroccans speak French and are influenced by Western social behaviour more than ever before. In the process, I provide the reader with an updated description of the different facets of language use, language maintenance and shift, and language attitudes, focusing on the linguistic situation whose analysis is often blurred by emotional reactions, ideological discourses, political biases, simplistic assessments, and ethnolinguistic identities.
