"Helping students of Arabic understand, self-assess, and improve their oral proficiency
What is this guide?
This guide is designed to help you understand and improve your Arabic oral proficiency by learning about:
What oral proficiency is and how it relates to your language learning goals
A set of guidelines that can be used to rate your speaking ability
The kind of outcomes you can reasonably expect after different amounts of Arabic study"
"This project involves the construction of an Arabic WordNet, following the development process of Princeton WordNet and Euro WordNet. It utilizes the Suggested Upper Merged Ontology as an interlingua to link Arabic WordNet to previously developed wordnets."
The Online Language Environments (OLE) Board is a web based threaded discussion instructional tool that utilizes voice, video and text to replicate the functions of a language lab. OLE is used for, but not restricted to, oral practice, listening comprehension, speaking practice and reading and writing practice. The OLE Board can be used to supplement instruction in face-to-face classes as homework assignments, and can be used in entirely distance classes.
CERCLL support provides assistance to improve the technological capabilities and establish the pedagogical strategies of the OLE Board, which has been successfully piloted in French, Arabic, various Indigenous languages and ESL. Specific deliverables for the OLE Board project include templates and pedagogical strategies with examples for Arabic, Persian, Turkish, Japanese, Chinese and Portuguese; online and print user and instructor documentation; lesson plans and use case scenarios; usability studies for further desired improvement; piloting of multi-institutional usage. We also provide for the protocols necessary to integrate the OLE Board for use with course management systems. The OLE Board is being developed as an open-source product that will be available to the wider language instruction community.
This is a great site with all the videos from the Al-Kitaab DVDs put up. Since every single American student of Arabic uses these books, this should be particularly helpful.
