Introduction

For decades teachers have been combining language and content through techniques such as
storytelling, games, role plays, and, more recently, integration of subject area. The introduction of
teaching language in order to achieve proficiency based outcomes has underscored the importance of
meaning and context in comprehension and production. The guidelines developed by ACTFL and the
Educational Testing Service (ETS) define what language users are able to do with the language at
various stages. In the last ten years, many professionals grasped the idea of using the proficiency
definition of what it means to know a language for purposes of organizing instruction. The proficiency
model defines language ability in terms of three criteria:

(1) functions: linguistic tasks performed such as asking for information, narrating past activities, or
expressing opinions.

(2) contexts/contents: the settings in which one uses language, e.g., informal settings,
transactional situations, formal settings, together with the topic or themes of conversation, such
as topics related to self and to immediate environment (family, shopping, transportation,
restaurant, etc., concrete topics of personal and general interest, and abstract topics.

(3) accuracy: the precision of the message in terms of fluency, grammar, vocabulary, pragmatic
competence, pronunciation, sociolinguistic competence (Buck, Byrnes, and Thompson 1989).
Meaning and contextualized practice form the foundation for an approach that seeks to develop
proficiency.

The recent focus on more meaningful, contextualized teaching has prompted some changes in the
traditional bottom-up mechanical /communicative format of textbook exercises. In his review of textbook
exercise formats, Waltz (1989) found that current textbooks are “contextualizing” mechanical or skill-
getting exercises in a wide variety of ways such as by:

(1) connecting exercise sentences with the same situation or theme;


(2) providing a context for the exercise in the form of information concerning people, activities or
description; and
(3) combining cultural aspects with language practice within the exercise.

Recent studies in foreign language teaching have pointed to the possible benefit of a “top-down” or
“whole language” approach to language instruction, through which students manipulate language to
communicate thoughts by using higher level skills before attending to discrete language structures with
the use of lower level skills. By means of activities such as negotiation of meaning and joint problem
solving with the teacher and classmates, students participate in amore complex task than the students
are capable of producing by themselves (Adir-Hauck 1992). Therefore, meaning and context take the
front seat in this performance before competence approach, which reflects how first-language learners
acquire language. Anderson (1984) proposes four criteria for judging a whole language approach to
language teaching. Language learning should:

(1) include meaningful, natural language


(2) include whole language, not language fragments
(3) be functional, and
(4) be learned in a meaningful context.

Basically, the above principles have been utilized in the development of "Al-Jaleys" textbook. In addition,
a culture-based textbook and its syllabus identify a possible sequence of contexts of communication,
grammatical structures, and cultural topics that could be integrated. The culture topics in Al-Jaleys appear
in three categories:

4
(1) those dealing with surface features of the Arabic culture with primary emphasis on behavior;

(2) those pertaining to daily life in the target culture-habits, patterns of living, etc.;

(3) those dealing with a more conceptual level, with attention to political, social, economical,
culture institutions and pattern, and with the challenges currently facing Arabs. The convergence of these
factors serves as a process through which students are able to acquire a set of behavior, body of
knowledge, a set of skills, and a cultural proficiency that facilitate learning about the Arabic culture and
their own cultures as well.

Finally, Al-Jaleys recommends an interactive teacher/student relationship that can be categorized as


"cognitive instruction." Through this approach, students process information in meaningful ways, take
responsibility for their own learning and become independent learners. As students and teacher work
together to understand and explore new contexts through "scaffolding" process, the teacher shows
learners how to use various strategies to solve language and culture tasks. In exploring longer segments,
students are guided through by means of various steps, ranging from identifying main ideas to express
opinions and writing compositions.

1. Contrary to and her sisters, which take a nominative subject and an accusative
predicate, and her sisters take an accusative subject and a nominative predicate if
that predicate is a noun or a predicate adjective.

This grammatical rule is exemplified in the following sentences:

becomes

! " becomes ! "

Notice the change of the subject marker from nominative to accusative.

2. When and her sisters are followed by personal pronouns, the accusative forms
of these pronouns are suffixed to them. The following chart summarizes these forms for
both singular and plural pronouns.

Grammar ! +2
1. Comparative and superlative forms of Arabic adjectives are the same except that the
comparative form is placed between the two nouns you are comparing, and is always
followed by the preposition 5'L

\ Z 5'L 4 † .! The house is bigger than the apartment.

The superlative form precedes the noun it describes.


$ N #: .
n !> 4 † 0 This is the biggest house in town.

You must have noticed that the adjective 4 5† is used in both sentences.

2. You can make comparative and superlative forms by dropping the long medial vowel
and prefixing " to the adjective.
4! † becomes 4†
4!~T becomes 4 ~T

If the second and third radical consonants are identical, you need to use Shadda (the
double letter diacritic) as in:
becomes R
becomes R
If the medial long vowel is , this Alif moves to the end and takes the shape of Alif
Maqsura ‰ as in:
nB H becomes „8H
B
n d becomes „8d

By the way, nB H means “high” and nB d means “expensive.”


Comparative and superlative forms of Arabic adjectives do not distinguish number or
gender. In other words, they are gender and number blind!

Grammar
1. Relative pronouns usually introduce adjectival clauses and follow the antecedent they
describe. In Arabic, the use of these relative pronouns is determined by the gender and
number of the antecedent.
a. [ is used for singular masculine nouns.

W W ;!" † #$ 8> E [ !†2

55
The agent who met me was very nice.
b. #, is used for singular feminine nouns.

.! 0 5?4 A,@ #, 4N %5 H @
We helped the woman who rented this house.
c. ' is used for plural masculine nouns.

$ 5'L *]"N #: $]L 28† ' Q E 5T


The friends who ate with us in the restaurant are from Lebanon.
d. #6 28 is used for plural feminine nouns.

$ N „;Z ,=L #: '8N5] #6 28 ? ! " %2Hh


We invited the doctors (f) who work at the town hospital.

2. Inanimate plural is always treated as a feminine singular.


4!t † 4^ #: 0 % 4 E #, ? %{5HŠ
The ads we read in the newspaper (were) many.

3. If the antecedent is indefinite, you do not need to use a relative pronoun.


nH @ E -$H BA@ {
W X .8> E
I met a man who asked about you an hour ago.
You must have noticed that saying the same sentence in English would require the use
of the relative pronoun.

Grammar ! +2 "
There are two types of sentences in Arabic; a verbal sentence which begins with a verb,
and a nominal sentence which begins with a noun or a personal pronoun. Examples
are:
1. A verbal sentence:
Q 45(e #: 3 ' ˆ=
2. a. A nominal sentence (starts with a noun):

n $@ $L 5? 5 > !80 C54(


b. A nominal sentence (starts with a pronoun):

) h5X „ 4: = ,@ .5 %
78
When the verb precedes its subject, it is always in the singular form and agrees with the
subject in gender ONLY.

Examples:
a singular masculine subject n \D #: #\ T ' ˆ@
a plural masculine subject n \D #: #` E T ' ˆ@

Notice that the verb remains the same though the number of the subject is changed
from singular to plural. You will notice the same thing in the following sentences.

a singular feminine subject n \D #: #, \ T 5. $ ˆ@


a plural feminine subject n \D #: #6 \ T 5. $ ˆ@

Now, if the verb follows its subject, it is marked by both number and gender, as in the
following examples:

n \D #: ' ˆ@ #\ T
n \D #: 2$ ˆ@ #` E T
n \D #: 5. $ ˆ@ #, \ T
n \D #: ' ˆ@ #6 \ T
N.B. Some grammarians treat equational sentences as nominal sentences.

Grammar

1. “Diptotes” is a category of Arabic nouns and adjectives that cannot take Nunation and

they take the accusative marker for the genitive case.


D 4 r M +Q ./
Notice that the noun D4 takes the accusative marker instead of the genitive marker

though the word is the object of the preposition rM .

2. Diptotes include many place-names which are not Arabic in origin such as:

:J O /2? O /2ƒ? O XJ2 O WDA2J O 0 4O D4


3. Several broken plural patterns are also included in this category. Usually, they are
made of three or four syllables, such as:

101
K/NJ X O WJ / . O :B 2

4. These plural nouns are treated as diptotes when they are indefinite. Once they
become definite, they behave like regular nouns, i.e. they take the genitive marker for
the genitive case.

KJ /NJ %X- r ? 02'


5. Comparative and superlative adjectives as well as colors are included in the Diptotes

category.

Grammar ! +2 "
Hollow Verbs are those verbs in which the second consonant of the root is a long vowel as in:
X@ U% BE
This category of verbs is divided into three groups according to the way in which the vowel
changes.
1. The first group is:

&
, _ p&
\ /N pppp
The middle short vowel of the present form is p
,
2. The next group is:
p / R pppp
The middle short vowel of the present form is p
>
3. The third group is:

</ p </ pppp


The middle short vowel of the present form is p
\

Remember that these changes are required when you change the hollow verb from past to
present.

In the past form of the verb, the long vowel does not appear except for the third person singular
(m. & f.) and third person plural (m. only). It also shows in the third person dual (m. & f.)

Grammar 6
Assimilated Verbs in Arabic is a group of verbs which usually have a weak semi-vowel
in initial position. This semi-vowel is commonly as in:

\X to arrive

152
In the present tense of this category of verbs, the semi-vowel is fully assimilated, and
thus the verbs mentioned above would take the following forms.

Grammar
1. Defective Verbs in Arabic are a category of verbs which end with a long vowel such as:
to meet +_
to walk rA2
to invite /?
to see, witness |

These verbs will take the following forms when changed to the present tense.
|„R r_D „ +_
Rp| +A2 „ rA2
p ? „ /?
|p| | „|

Notice that even in the past tense, the long vowel is reduced to a short one for:
D0A2 „ + A2 „ <
The long vowel is changed to the corresponding forms (displayed in the previous frame) for the
rest of the pronouns. Examples are:
you (f.s.) walked 0
J A2 p 0
J D\
I invited 0 ? „/\

2. You can create adverbs from the adjectives derived originally from time concepts by
changing the case from nominative p
^ to accusative ! as in the following:

daily /! 2 p +
d2
weekly /! ? 4 , p +
d? 4 ,
175
monthly /! "A p R
d "A
yearly, annually /! „R
d

Grammar

1. The Active Participle, which can be formed from all transitive and
intransitive verbs, is made on the pattern FAA’IL ^&?
J /. for pattern number
one of the Arabic verbs. Examples are:
^&2J /? „ &
\ 2J ? 9]B „] 9TJ /o „ T o
The active participle often functions as an agent noun (one who does the
action).

The writer is in his apartment. lJ J _' A +. TJ /o


Under certain linguistic conditions , the active participle can be used as a
verbal adjective.

199
A fasting man 9<G> /X ^&
2. The Passive Participle is formed from transitive verbs on the pattern
MAF’UUL ^& $DP2 , for pattern one the Arabic verbs. Examples are:
93 2 2 p ]J2 9K D_2 „ \ N 9v DP2 „ ` .
The passive participle is often used as an adjective.

The door is open. 9v DP2 T/4

3. We already know that you can negate the past tense by using the
negation particle /2 before the verb as in:

0
J 4 ) +. + , D0 o
0
J 4 ) +. + , D0 o /2
Another way to negate such kind of a verb is by using another negation
particle, < followed by a verb that has to be in the Jussive Mood.

0
J 4 ) +. + , o <

The jussive mood is based on the Indicative Mood (the regular present
form) with some changes in the terminations. These include the following:
a. The short vowel of the indicative p
, is replaced by the zero vowel

Sukuun p
% in final position.

0
J 4 ) +. + , D0 o
0
J 4 ) +. + , o o <
b. Feminine plurals remain unchanged from the indicative; all other forms
ending in and drop that terminations.
