The Israeli reality points to a number of deep divisions among the
population (such as between Sephardi-Ashkenazi, Orthodox-secular,
men-women, Arab-Jew), most of which, in our opinion, are
progressively decreasing as time passes. The Arab-Jewish divide is
the deepest of all, and there is still no solution. In spite of its
intensity, it did not enjoy a centrality whether in public debates
or in academia. This subject has only come on the agenda after
sharp tensions between Arabs and Jews.
In this book we will explore in more detail some aspects of the
Arab-Jewish divide, which raise fundamental questions regarding the
place of the Arabs and Arab language education in the Jewish State.
More specifically, the aim of this book is to describe and analyze
language education in the Arab society in Israel from the
establishment of the state in 1948 until today. For this purpose,
internal processes, which are embedded within the Arab population
itself were examined, such as the socio-economic condition of the
population, the diglossic situation in the Arabic language, and the
wide use of Hebrew among Arabic speakers. Furthermore, the book
also deals with external processes such as the policy of control
and inspection of the Ministry of Education over the Arab education
system in general and on language education in particular, the
dominance of Hebrew, and the definition and perception of Israel as
a Jewish State. The influence of both internal and external
processes on language education and learning achievements will also
be extensively discussed. A comprehensive examination was made of
Arabic, Hebrew and English, as well as the teaching of French in a
number of community schools.
Thetarget group for this book are people who are concerned with
sociolinguistics, language education, and language policy and
planning. This book will be also of special interest to Arab
language teachers and policy-makers in Israel.
