HDR Introduction The need for Americans and other Western peoples to better understand how Arabs think was acutely demonstrated not long ago during the Gulf crisis. There is no doubt that the war between Iraq and the coalition forces, led by the United States, and that war's messy aftermath, could have been avoided if the Americans and Iraqis had not miscalculated so badly and so grossly misjudged each other both during the decade leading up to the crisis and during the criss itself. ‘One of the reasons for the miscalculations and misjudgment on the part of Westerners, and Americans in particular, in matters concerning Arabs is their appalling lack of knowledge of the history, traditions, and thought patterns of the Arabs as well as near total ignorance of their language. Let's Read the Arabic Newspapers is a newspaper reader which is designed to help bridge this gap of ignorance by helping American and other English-speaking leamers of Arabic get started reading the newspapers of the Arab world. Although one cannot claim that articles from Arabic newspapers necessarily represent the ideas and ways of thinking of their Arab readers generally, one can at least find out, by reading the Arab press, what the Arab governments are telling their citizens, what members of the various Arab societies’ elites are thinking and saying, what type of reading matter is available to Arabs, what their reading preferences appear to be, and what general political, social, and religious trends and movements are afoot in the Middle East and North Africa. During the last three decades, some good Arabic-teaching materials have emerged in the English-speaking world, including two works designed to teach speakers of English to read Arabic newspaper texts, namely 1) Contemporary Arabic Readers - 1. Newspaper Arabic, by Ernest MeCarus and Adil Yacoub (University of Michigan Press, Ann Arbor, 1962), and 2) A Week in the Middle East, by F. A. Pragnell (Lund Humphries, London, 1984). The former consists of a limited number of articles, the material of which is presented in sound pedagocial fashion in order to teach students typical newspaper vocabulary. Its only failing is that it is now quite out-of-date and deals with events that today’s college students, among others, would consider to be ancient history. The latter is a nicely-produced work based on the intriguing idea of selecting a week's worth of news articles from the respected Arabic newspaper al-Sharg al-Awsat and reprinting them, with side-by-side English translations and extensive glossaries of important vocabulary items The only criticism that could be levelled against it is the fact that all the material has been taken from only one newspaper and there are no exercises or other devices to impel learners of Arabic to acquire knowledge of the language by actively using it. Let's Read the Arabic Newspapers represents an effort to present today’s leamers of Arabic with a wide spectrum of more recently written articles from newspapers from all over the Arab world—including even an article from al-Huda, America’s oldest Arabic newspaper which is still published weekly in New York, The attempt was made to select articles of varying length, and on a wide variety of topics. At all times, while selecting the articles, the author bore in mind the question: “What type of articles from the Arabic newspapers would be interesting and appeal to young Americans who are studying the language in universities, language institutes, or even on their own, in places such as Michigan, California, Texas, Ohio, or Washington, D.C.?” Afterall, people generally read what they like to read, and if they have to read something in a difficult foreign language, they definitely need to be stimulated, motivated, interested in, and excited about what they are reading—or else they may lose their desire to learn the language. The les in Let's Read the Arabic Newspapers are generally arranged in terms of length, with the articles becoming progressively longer as one moves through the book. No attempt was made to organize the material according to subject matter or level of difficulty, since subject matter areas often overlap and assigning levels of difficulty is frequently only a matter of opinion. However, the author's experience both learning and teaching Arabic has shown him that Arabic is a particularly difficult language to learn to read fluently, and that the very length of an Arabic text is a major factor of difficulty for any student of the language. Hence the book starts with very short articles and ends with Tong ones. How to Use This Book Let's Read the Arabic Newspapers is designed to be used either as supplementary reading material in a university-level Arabic course or as self-teaching material, and is intended for use by persons who have already studied Arabic for at least two semesters or the equivalent. The book is divided into two basic parts—I) the first half, containing 100 Arabic articles, with accompanying glossaries and Arabic-language questions on the texts, and 2) the second half, containing a full English translation of each article and answers to the questions. In an effort to spice up the material, the author has added a “trivia question” at the end of each selection—generally related to the topic of the given selection—with a corresponding answer in the second half of the book. In addition to this, after every five selections there is an exercise, usually about one page long, which is based on the material of these ‘ions. The exercises are of various types (filling in blank spaces, matching vocabulary items, true and false statements, matching persons with functions or with actions performed, etc.) and are all designed to induce the student to review the five selections and recall the vocabulary and information covered in them At the end of the book there is a Key to Exercises section containing all the correct answers, As for methodology in the classroom, the author suggests that the teacher first have the students silently read the article, after which he orally asks the students the qu following the article and elicits their responses. After a given selection has been read and the questions answered, the students can then consult the selection’s translation in the second half of the book in order to see how well they understood the article, and they can see how their answers to the questions compared with the model answers given. When a group of five selections has been covered, students could be asked to do the exercise corresponding to these selections either as a classroom learning activity or as a test. vi Other approaches, of course, can be used. Students could, for example, produce written translations of the articles, write answers (in Arabic) to the questions, and then compare their work to the model translations and answers in the latter part of the book. Or the teacher can have students read the selections aloud, translate them orally, etc. Furthermore, after each selection is read and the questions answered, the teacher could use the selection’s subject matter as a springboard from which to launch a discussion, in Arabic, concerning the general topic at hand. Anyone using this book as self-teaching material can also do most of the above- mentioned activities. For example, you could read each selection, underline words that are new to you, attempt to answer the questions (orally to yourself or in writing), and then check the corresponding page in the latter half of the book and see how well you understood the selection and how accuratley you answered the questions. Then you could do the exercises that come after every five selections and consult the Key to Exercises section to see how your answers compare with the correct ones. The author maintains that if you diligently cover the material of this book—or even just half or two-thirds of the selections—you will: greatly increase your Arabic reading proficiency, # acquire a considerable amount of additional knowledge about the Arab world, gain a good perspective concerning what the Arab world’s press is like, and * enjoy yourself and be entertained during the whole process. Some Technical Matters 1. The Arabic articles have all been retyped to correspond to a single format for presentation in this book, and occasionally the punctuation was changed to make it easier and more consistent for American readers (such as the addition of periods and question marks if they were omitted, but normally expected). Furthermore, a few minor, but obvious, spelling and grammatical errors and misprints which occurred in the original texts were corrected. Apart from these slight modifications, the retyped articles correspond to the original ones. 2. Glossaries, when they occur after articles, co atain only words and/or meanings of words and phrases not found in Hans Wehr’s Dictionary of Modern Arabic, as well as both Arab and non-Arab proper names which a leamer of Arabic cannot normally be expected to be able to pronounce or puzzle out when they are rendered in Arabic script. A given glossary entry appears only once in the book—the first time the word or phrase is encountered 3. An effort was made to make the translations as literal as possible, but maintain natural-sounding American English, Brackets in the translations are occasionally used as an aid to the learner to show implied thoughts not obvious to non-Arab readers, literal renderings not normally necessary in English, translations of Arabi used in English but not always widely known, etc. terms sometimes 4, The transliteration system used to render Arabic words was the very simplest possible, following the convention of American newspapers—no special letters, symbols, or diacritical marks, no accounting for vowel length, and conventional letter combinations for typical Arabic consonants (kh, gh, th, etc.). Only the apostrophe was uused—to represent the “ayn” and “hamza” when in the middle or at the end of a word 5. The translations contain some abbreviations and names which correspond to commercial and national news agencies, and they are as follows: SNA = Saudi News Agency AFP = French Press Agency Saba’ Yemeni Press Agency SANA = Syrian Arab News Agency R = _ Reuters (News Agency) Petra Jordanian News Agency ANA = Algerian News Agency UPI United Press International INA Iraqi News Agency QNA Qatari News Agency Acknowlegements The author wishes to thank his colleague and close friend, Dr. Milad Rizkallah, for proofreading the entire manuscript more than once, modifying the Arabic questions and answers to make them sound more correct and authentic, and providing an additional mind and pair of eyes for checking the accuracy of the translations. Working with him is always both profitable and a great pleasure In addition, the author wishes to extend his gratitude to the various Arabic newspapers which gave him permission to use their articles in his work. He is also indebted to Electromap, Inc. for granting him permission to use maps of some of the world’s countries (pp. 68, 70, 77, 105, 112, 123, 125, 133, 169, and 173) from the software program World Atlas.
