Arabic is not a priority for young people in Dubai, say educators
A new education report has laid bare a lack of progress in the teaching of Arabic in private schools in Dubai.
In the Indian school curriculum just 21 per cent of schools were rated as ‘good’ or ‘better’, for Arabic as an additional language, by education regulator the Knowledge and Human Development Authority. That rose to 42 and 52 per cent for UK and US curriculums respectively. Among the better results was 73 per cent for Ministry of Education curriculum schools, where many pupils tend to be native Arabic speakers.
Released this week, the tenth annual report titled A Decade of Growth, differentiated between Arabic taught as an additional language and Arabic as a first language; and while both subjects showed improvement over 10 years, the rate was much slower than that of other subjects.
The stark difference became apparent when comparing the rate of improvement in subjects such as mathematics in which 71 per cent of Indian schools received ‘good’ and ‘better’ ratings this year, compared to 43 per cent ten years prior. Some 73 per cent of Indian schools achieved 'good' or 'better' ratings in English and science, up from 42 per cent in 2008 - when the assessment was first carried out by KHDA.
Rashmi Nandkeolyar, principal and director of Delhi Private School in Dubai, said the disparity was down to a lack of motivation from pupils to study the subject.
The school teaches Arabic as an additional language and received a rating of ‘weak’ in middle and secondary school for attainment of goals and an ‘acceptable’ rating for progress. For English, the school earned an ‘outstanding’ through primary, middle and secondary school.
“Pupils are not using Arabic and thus they don’t see the value of it in their lives. Arabic is not the lingua franca in Dubai and they (pupils) can manage without it,” said Ms Nandkeolyar.
“This has to change because if they want to live here in this region, knowing Arabic is an advantage.”
Pupils are also less inclined to study Arabic because the language is not tested in board exams.

Arabic Language Center offering crash course in July
(MENAFN - Brazil-Arab News Agency (ANBA)) From the Newsroom São Paulo - The Arabic Language Center has enrolments open for two Arabic
Music of the Oud review: Baroque twists of Arabic scales
Joseph Tawadros gave an equally jokey and insightful musicological lesson when he and his percussionist brother, James, rejoined the Sydney Symphony Orchestra after the first movement of Mozart's Symphony in G minor (K183). After his oud and James's req (small tambourine) duetted on a brief excerpt, Tawadros observed that, with the harmonies removed, the melodic and rhythmic material was not so very different to Arabic music.
Tawadros astutely chose the Mozart to complete a program otherwise consisting of his own compositions, highlighting the differences and overlaps between the harmony-rich western classical tradition (this being a work in which the 17-year-old Mozart extensively used unison passages), and the linear (melody and rhythm) approach that finds such potent expression in Indian and Arabic music.
The centrepiece was Tawadros's 2017 Concerto for Oud and Orchestra (the SSO under the lively direction of Benjamin Northey), in which orchestrator Jessica Wells allowed Tawadros's gift for striking melodies to glisten, often fattening the sinuous lines with unisons rather than weighting them with harmony. A work of high drama and contrast - it was, in terms of both composition and execution, a massive step forward on Tawadros's earlier attempts at orchestral settings for oud. This is an instrument of lace-like delicacy, so the work, like pre-forte keyboard concertos, had to offer ample solo space, even though the oud and req (which could arguably share the concerto's title) were expertly amplified.
Amid Tawadros's discernible influences is a reverence for Vivaldi, yet the work is no mere baroque throwback. Its gripping orchestral introduction beckoned Tawadros's dark opening statement on the bottom string of his extended-range seven-course oud. Later the rampant emotional colour of quarter-tones in his improvising suggested the orchestration could have more fully explored the string section's capacity to generate quarter-tones, itself. A stark oboe melody established the slow movement, the oud's theme subsequently echoed by the strings, while the last movement contained a startling cadenza of diverging and converging patterns between the oud's bass and treble strings, before granite-like blocks of orchestral punctuation signalled a thrilling finale.
Among the shorter pieces Point of Departure (arranged by Tawadros and Richard Tognetti) had luxuriant strings framing the concert's most moving improvisation, the oud's notes dripping like tears into a wishing well. Less successful was the solo Constellation, a minor Tawadros composition lacking a little finesse in its performance.

PAS delegate moots Arabic to replace Mandarin in vernacular schools
A PAS delegate today reiterated calls for the abolition of Mandarin-medium schools in Malaysia, but this time proposing Arabic as the language of instruction.
Salamiah Md Nor, vice-chief of the Islamist party’s women’s wing, said she doesn’t want to see Mandarin taking position as the country’s second language.
“The Dewan Muslimat hopes for one thing, we are unwilling to see Mandarin becoming the second language,” she said, using the Malay term for her wing.
“Instead we want the second language that is used in the Quran and the Sunnah, a language which has been overlooked by the current generation, causing some Muslims to be ignorant about the Quran,” she said during debates on PAS president Datuk Seri Hadi Awang's policy speech at the party’s 65th annual congress here.
She called on Education Minister Maszlee Malik to act, claiming that many were uncomfortable with the current vernacular schools system though she did not offer further information to substantiate her assertion.
“We ask and hope that the education minister will take action and put an end to vernacular education,” she said.
In Malaysia, Mandarin and Tamil are used as the medium of instruction in national type schools only at the primary level.
From secondary onwards, public school students are taught in Bahasa Malaysia, the national language, regardless of the type.
Those who opt to continue their secondary and tertiary studies in Mandarin enrol in private schools.
Salamiah also criticised the current education curriculum, saying it needs more Islamic references and modules.

Chinese-Arabic translation contest kicks off in Cairo
Egypt's National Center for Translation (NCT) and the Chinese Culture Center in Cairo announced on Tuesday launching a contest to translate a Chinese novel into Arabic.
The contest mainly includes young translators, said Anwar Mogeith, chairman of the NCT.
"We seek to create and encourage new generation of translators," Mogeith told Xinhua, adding that the contest will be a good opportunity for young talents to gain experience and win the prize at the same time.
He said the participants between 25 and 45 years old could start to download the book on designated website as of June 18.
The translation should be submitted in three months to the headquarters of the NCT for evaluation.
The Chinese Culture Center in Cairo will offer $2,000 to the first place winner and the NCT will be responsible for publication.
The second and third place winners will be granted 1,000 dollars and 500 dollars respectively, while other winners until the 10th place will be rewarded an encouraging prize of 200 dollars, the NCT chairman added.
"The disappearance of a girl named Chen Jianfang" is the title of the Chinese book that tells a story of a young girl who moved from rural area to a city seeking to raise her living standard.
Shi Yifeng, the writer of the book, expressed happiness that his book will be translated for a large population of Arabic-spoken countries.
He added the sad and happy moments of the journey of the girl in his novel mirrored the changes that took place in China.
"Those changes have added to the promotion of literature," the writer said, noting the Egyptian and Arab readers will understand many aspects about China after reading the book.
Mogeith stressed the NCT will promote the book's sales in the coming annual International Book Fair that usually takes place in February each year.
Describing his job as to describe the feelings of the people, Shi said that translation bridges cultural differences of different origins because the human emotions are the same everywhere.

Chinese-Arabic translation contest kicks off in Cairo - Chinadaily.com.cn

Learning to Speak Darija: How to Make a Moroccan Laugh
Moroccan Arabic is a unique blend of Tamazight (Berber), Spanish, French, and Standard Arabic. While a lot of Darija’s vocabulary comes from Arabic and Tamazight, there are many words that have entered the language thanks to French, Spanish, and other languages.
Rabat – Some words remain unaltered, while others have been changed to varying degrees.
Additionally, some Arabic words used in Morocco are used in a different context than within Moroccan Standard Arabic (MSA). Although many Moroccans can understand speakers from the Arabian Peninsula, the reverse cannot always be said.
There are some Arabic speakers who argue that Moroccan colloquial Arabic, also called Darija, is not a “true” Arabic dialect, but rather a variant of North African languages.
Making matters more complex, each region also has its own distinct dialect. This is probably why it’s one of the most obscure dialects to learn since it’s the most geographically limiting variety of Arabic. It is also probably the most difficult Arabic dialect to understand.
When I first heard it, Moroccan Arabic sounded like the people are always appalled. It has a characteristic cluster of harsh consonants that once made me think the lives of Moroccans were soap operas. After two years of living with the language, I learned to at least listen for “sdemtini” before making that assumption (“How could you say that to me?”).
Over time, I understood it’s just a very strong language. I think it’s worth learning because it brings me closer to people and the culture that I wouldn’t otherwise get to know.
When I arrived, people taught me the curse words. People I’d just met had me echo profanities, which turns out to be a great way to make friends. My new friends insisted I wasn’t prepared for life in Morocco until I could call someone a sonofa and then tell them to screw off.
These words have turned out to be useless. When my mouth mimics “Khara” (crap), it’s like telling a one-liner. It could make a robber with a knife to my cheek laugh. I can’t intimidate in Arabic and it doesn’t make sense to be so serious in a language I don’t understand. Besides, people don’t say those words to me.
On the streets of Tetouan (near Tangier), they sing at me, “mon amie” or use racial slurs, which none of my new friends had had the courage to teach me. Standing out in the small city has its own joke and the punchline, or whatever people are calling out when they see me, is in Arabic. For this reason, I learned to appreciate the language barrier.
Still, there’s real value in learning individual words. I know about a hundred and fifty. I say what I want by stringing words together: “(Srwall dyali sreer ‒ lioum shems schroona bzef!) My pants too small ‒ today sun very hot! ” It makes friends giggle. I lie to the people selling roses in the street, “(Hedi? Ana feeya assassiya) This? I am allergic.”
There are slang expressions that primarily men use. Men and myself: “deka” for “beverage,” “tcharreyah” for “calm down,” and “la-az” for “hell yeah.”
Then there are times when I make my own expressions. “You are the fish of my love,” (unta l’hout dial hobbi) I told a man. In his near-native English, he told me that was so sweet.

There are slang expressions that primarily men use. Men and myself: “deka” for “beverage,” “tcharreyah” for “calm down,” and “la-az” for “hell yeah.”
Then there are times when I make my own expressions. “You are the fish of my love,” (unta l’hout dial hobbi) I told a man. In his near-native English, he told me that was so sweet.

من بينها الأورومو والأمهرة، تعرف على أكبر القوميات الإثيوبية
أعلن مكتب رئيس الوزراء الأثيوبي، آبي أحمد، أن قائد الجيش، الجنرال سياري ميكونين، وضابطا آخر لقيا حتفهما في العاصمة أديس أبابا وذلك أثناء محاولتهما منع محاولة انقلاب ضد حكومة ولاية أمهرة شمال إثيوبيا.
ونقلت وسائل إعلام عن متحدث باسم رئيس الوزراء أن الحارس الشخصي لرئيس أركان الجيش هو من أطلق عليه الرصاص.
كما قتل حاكم ولاية أمهرة ومستشاره خلال ما وصفته وسائل إعلام رسمية إثيوبية بمحاولة انقلاب في الولاية. وقال التلفزيون الإثيوبي إن حاكم الولاية، أمباتشو مكونن، ومستشاره تعرضا للهجوم في مكتبيهما يوم السبت، مضيفا أن ضابطا بارزا في الجيش كان وراء محاولة الانقلاب.
وتعد ولاية أمهرة الشمالية من أهم ولايات أثيوبيا التسع وتنتشر فيها القومية الأمهرية التي تمثل نحو ربع سكان البلاد، وينتمي لها العديد من الرموز في التاريخ الاثيوبي مثل الإمبراطور هيلا سيلاسي والزعيم الشيوعي منغستو هيلاماريام. وتعد اللغة الأمهرية هي اللغة الرسمية في البلاد.
وكان وصول رئيس الوزراء الحالي آبي أحمد إلى السلطة بمثابة محطة مهمة في التاريخ الاثيوبي، فهو أول رئيس حكومة من قومية الأومورو وهي أكبر مجموعة عرقية في البلاد، والتي كانت تقود الاحتجاجات المناهضة للحكومة السابقة على مدار ثلاث سنوات.
فما هي أكبر القوميات والأعراق في إثيوبيا؟
تقول دائرة المعارف البريطانية إن هناك العديد من القوميات في إثيوبيا، مشيرة إلى أن التمايز اللغوي يعد من أبرز أسباب الخلافات في البلاد، حيث يوجد في هذا البلد نحو 100 لغة يمكن تقسيمها إلى 4 مجموعات لغوية رئيسية هي السامية والكوشية والأومية وجميعها من الأسرة الآفرو آسيوية، كما أن هناك مجموعة رابعة تنتمي إلى النيلية وهي جزء من أسرة النيل الصحراء اللغوية.

من بينها الأورومو والأمهرة والتيغراي، تعرف على أبرز القوميات في إثيوبيا
يشهد إقليم تيغراي الإثيوبي معارك بين القوات المحلية وقوات الحكومة المركزية مما قد يهدد وحدة البلادة. هذه لمحة عن أهم القوميات والعرقيات التي تعيش في هذا البلد.
The Language of Christ is Disappearing
“Aramaic is in danger,” warns one of the last Syrian specialists of the language spoken in the time of Christ. The fragile linguistic heritage of the Maaloula region (Syria) has been undermined by the civil war and the exodus of Christians.
Georges Zaarour lives in Maaloula. He is an expert in Aramaic, the language spoken at the time of the Second Temple in Jerusalem (539 BC - 70 AD), Hebrew being at that time reserved for liturgy or religious elites.
It is widely accepted that the language of Christ has continued to be spoken without interruption until today, in its late and local form, in Syria.
Defined by linguists as “Western Neo-Aramaic,” the dialect is more than ever threatened with extinction. “If this continues, the language will disappear in five or ten years,” warns Georges Zaarour.
In his predominantly Christian village of Maaloula, the outlook is bleak. Today, “80% of the inhabitants of Maaloula do not speak Aramaic and the remaining 20% are over 60,” laments the expert, himself 60 years old, and author of 30 of works on ancient Semitic languages.
Since 2011, civil war and exile have conquered the transmission of language to younger generations. The city was twice occupied by a jihadist group in 2013, which committed a veritable “archaeological massacre.” More than 6,000 inhabitants of Maaloula—according to Agence France Presse (AFP)—fled during the civil war, and only 2,000 have returned. The others have found refuge in Damascus, in the surrounding areas, or fled abroad. A first direct consequence is that “the generations of these war years were born outside Maaloula, in other regions, where they first learned Arabic,” laments Georges Zaarour.
Three Aramaic linguistic groups are still spoken—but for how long?—presently: Western Neo-Aramaic (Maaloula); Eastern Neo-Aramaic (Assyrian), a living language in northern Iraq, now used by the Assyrian, Chaldean, and Syrian Christian communities in Iraq, Iran, Syria, and south-east Turkey; and Central Neo-Aramaic, spread throughout Turkey, northeastern Syria, and in the diaspora.

Один из муниципалитетов Милана оплатил школьные уроки арабского языка
Решение муниципальных властей миланского района Чернуско заказать и оплатить уроки арабского языка в одной из местных начальных школ вызвало полемику, передает Affari Italiani в пятницу, 7 июня.
Милан управляется представителями оппозиционной (на национальном уровне) Демократической партии. Представители правящей «Лиги» потребовали у своих оппонентов объяснений.
Вместо того, чтобы учить детей — выходцев из других стран итальянскому языку, муниципальные власти оплачивают занятия прямо противоположного содержания, причем за счет бюджета, отметили представители «Лиги». Недовольны и родители многих учеников, отмечает издание.
