Arabic Computerized Curriculum

Permanent URI for this collection

This collection (for speakers of Arabic and English) is intended to access the learner to myriad learning experiences in a contextually-based Arabic and English languages learning situations. Learners will be exposed to interactions in the fields of education, language acquisition and linguistics, and eventually develop their own experience in language learning, using the same principles of the different fields and Dr. Nimat Hafez Barazangi's scholar-activist resources and modules, that are available in this collection

These scholarly resources are listed on this web page under the publications of this collection, but not all of them are available as PDF files, though they might be available at other sites.

    Arabic Self-Learning: Project
    Barazangi, Nimat Hafez (1995)
    This program, available in a prototype, uses the spatial and thematic metaphor of a home in Damascus, Syria, and a classroom at Damascus University to access the learner to myriad learning experiences in a contextually-based Arabic language learning situations. Learners will be exposed to interactions, characters, and scenarios, utilizing available text, sound and video to understand the two stories in the prototype, and eventually develop their own story (s) using the same Arabic structures and vocabulary.

    Nidham Tarbawi Hasubi lil Ta`alum
    Barazangi, Nimat Hafez (Kuwait Foundation for the Advancement of Sciences, 1997)
    This paper is intended to summarize and complement the two reports prepared by Bawab et al., the linguistic and technical team from The Higher Institute for Applied Sciences and Technology (HIAST) headed by Dr. Muhammad Mrayati of the Scientific Studies and Research Center (SSRC) in Damascus, Syria. The first, entitled "PC-Based Conjugation of Arabic Verbs," was presented at the Arab School of Science and Technology's Second Spring Session on Information Technology and Applications, sponsored by the United Nations Industrial Development Organization and SSRC in May 25-31, 1992. The second (in Arabic), entitled "al Nidham al Sarfi al Nahawi li al `Arabiyah bi al Hasib (Computerized Conjugational and Syntactical System of Arabic)," was presented at the Second Conference on Arabic Computational Linguistics in Kuwait, November 26-29, 1989. The objective of this paper is twofold. One, to provide some suggestions concerning the educational applications of the Expert System (Nidham Khabir) and one of its sub-program, the PC-Based Conjugation of Arabic verbs . During my visit to the SSRC in January 1993, I was asked by the above team to develop these suggestions, based on my practical introduction to the system in addition to reading the above two reports. Both, through the practical demonstration of the system by the team following prior discussions of the linguistic groundwork and information technology that underlie the system, and throughout the reading of the reports, I felt a need to make this work known to all users of Arabic. Thus, the second objective is to share this significant achievement of the Syrian team with Arabic linguists, Teachers of Arabic and scholars of Arabic and Islamic studies.

    Rebdawi, Ghaya; Barazangi, Nimat Hafez; Haddad, Safa (Kuwait Foundation for the Advancement of Science, 1998)
    We discuss a research-based, computerized curriculum in Arabic. Learning of Arabic language for native non-specialists (ANNS) at the college level is presented as one module of this curriculum. Computer simulation of communicative and structural Arabic are intended to facilitate metacognitive learning or higher order thinking of Arabic language learning strategies.

    Arabic Self-Learning: A Module of A Research-Based Computerized Curriculum
    Barazangi, Nimat Hafez (American Association of Teachers of Arabic, 1999)
    We discuss a research-based, computerized curriculum in Arabic. Self-Learning of Arabic as a foreign language (AFL) at the college level is presented as one module of this curriculum. Computer simulation of communicative and structural Arabic are intended to facilitate metacognitive learning or higher order thinking of Arabic and Arabic language learning strategies.
