Leading teacher of Arabic, Munther Younes, explores the
realities of teaching Arabic as a foreign language (AFL) and
outlines his groundbreaking approach to instruction, tried and
tested over many years at Cornell University.
"
The Integrated Approach to Arabic Instruction "introduces
teachers to the features of an integrated Arabic program one that
simultaneously teaches the two varieties of the language, Modern
Standard Written Arabic, "fu "and the dialect, " mmiyya "in a way
that reflects the authentic practice of native Arabic speakers.
This pedagogy, Younes argues, is the most logical, effective and
economical method of instruction as it prepares students fully for
the realities of the Arabic diglossic situation.
Younes takes teachers through the following ground:
- Consideration of the current Arabic sociolinguistic situation
and key debates in the field
- Outline of changing student goals and the needs of the modern
AFL learner
- Overview of the Integrated Approach covering its rationale,
features, implementation methods and usage of instructional
materials in the classroom
- Response to objections to the Integrated Approach, outlining
its advantages over alternative practices and clarifying crucial
issues in practice
"
The Integrated Approach to Arabic Instruction "addresses a
pressing issue deeply relevant to the world of Arabic Language
Instruction, placed in the practical context of shifting attitudes
among students and educators. It will be an essential resource for
all teachers of Arabic as a Foreign Language. "
