"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, fuṣḥā, and the dialect, āmmiyya, 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 fieldOutline of changing student goals and the needs of the modern AFL learnerOverview of the Integrated Approach covering its rationale, features, implementation methods and usage of instructional materials in the classroomResponse 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."--

‘These thoughtful, poignant reflections bring forth vividly some of the human dimensions of one of the great tragedies of current history, the forced dispossession of Palestinians from their homeland.’ - Noam Chomsky‘This handsome collection speaks in a multiplicity of voices and textures that capture the enduring presence of the homeland in every Diasporic home. Palestinians and non-Palestinians will be moved by it in equal measure.’ - Azmi BisharaHow does it feel when you cannot find Palestine under ‘P’ in the encyclopaedia your father brings home? Why cultivate fig and orange trees in the Arizona desert? What does it mean to know every inch of a village you have never seen, a village that no longer exists?In this groundbreaking volume, 102 Palestinians in North America and the United Kingdom reflect in their own words on what it means to be Palestinian in the diaspora. Men and women, young and old, Christians and Muslims, including well-known academics, poets, writers, faith leaders and singers, reveal their tangled ties to ‘home’ and ‘homeland’, exploring how Palestine in the diaspora can be both lost and found, bereaved and celebrated, lived and longed-for.Touching, often troubling, but full of character and wit, the reflections in Being Palestinian offer a radically fresh look at the modern Palestinian experience in the West. And the time-honoured issues of identity, exile and diaspora give acute sense to these very personal reflections.Key FeaturesIncludes reflections from celebrated academics and writers, including Najla Said, Lila Abu Lughod, Ghada Karmi, Naomi-Shihab Nye, Salma Khadra Jayyusi, Sharif Elmusa, Nathalie Handal, Nabil Matar and Khaled HroubThe volume will include up to 20 personal photographs which visually depict the authors’ reflections in the bookCovering the United States, Canada, England, Wales and Scotland, the volume offers fascinating portraits of a community spread across the WestThe first published account of the experiences of the political prisoner Dr Sami Al-Arian
