The American University in Cairo Press Thirteen Ways to Make a Plural: Preparing to
Book SynopsisArabic is one of the world’s most complex and fascinating languages, but many students dive into it without first understanding what they are aiming for, much less knowing how they will get there. Thirteen Ways to Make a Plural: Preparing to Learn Arabic provides essential guidance on making a success of learning Arabic, drawing on the author’s personal experience of having been there and done it, along with the insights and advice of countless other students and teachers. Written in a lively and engaging style, this invaluable primer enables readers to identify the type of Arabic (modern standard or colloquial) suited to their needs, to set realistic learning goals, and to achieve them more efficiently. It includes tried-and-tested methods for improving vocabulary retention, speaking fluency, listening accuracy, and reading skills, while separating the grammar that’s needed in the real world from that which can be left for later. It also provides helpful advice on how to make the most of an ‘immersion’ experience abroad, what it takes to reach an advanced level, and the Arabic required in different professional areas.Trade ReviewThis book is a must-read for anyone considering learning, or already learning, Arabic. It answers the questions and allays the concerns that every Arabic learner faces but that traditional textbooks just don’t tackle. I wish it had been written years ago. * Elisabeth Kendall, Senior Research Fellow in Arabic Studies, University of Oxford *I wish I had this guide by my side as I started out on the Arabic journey. Jacob Halpin demystifies, clarifies, and reassures that Arabic can be learned, and indeed mastered. Outstanding. -- Gareth Bayley, Former UK Special Representative for SyriaLearning Arabic is an amazing experience, though for some months it can feel more like just a maze. This insightful, sympathetic, and precise guide will help any learner achieve their goals and avoid getting lost on the way. * Jon Wilks, British Ambassador to Qatar, Iraq, Oman, and Yemen and British government Arabic Spokesman *Jacob Halpin’s Thirteen Ways to Make a Plural is an excellent, succinct Arabic primer that would benefit any new student of the language. He offers sound, accurate advice that is evidently grounded in years of Arabic expertise. Highly recommend. * Donovan Nagel, linguist, translator, and founder of TalkInArabic.com *This engaging volume is not a text book: it might rather be called a pre-text book. It won’t teach you Arabic, but it will give you an idea of the language. If you are thinking of studying it, or have decided to learn it or are in the early stages of learning it, you will find in it sound practical advice. * Sir Harold Walker, former diplomat and one-time Principal Instructor at the Middle East Centre for Arab Studies, Lebanon *This is an invaluable guide for Arabic learners and teachers alike. One of the major challenges for students of Arabic as a foreign language is defining which aspects of this vast language and its dialects to learn and in which order; there is no easy answer and for each learner the priorities will differ. This very readable book helps learners to navigate the many different ways to approach studying Arabic and to manage their expectations and better evaluate their progress. Not just for beginners, this thought-provoking book is full of practical tips for intermediate and even advanced learners to develop their weaker skills and move to the next level. * Ruth Ahmedzai Kemp, Arabic teacher and translator *Table of ContentsIntroduction 1. Arabic Essentials: Drawing Your Arabic Roadmap 2. Tricks of the Trade: How to Learn More Effectively 3. Tuning Your Arabic Engine: Grammar You Can’t Ignore 4. Finding the Deep End: Arabic Immersion and Living Abroad 5. Speaking Like a Local: How to Get Really Good 6. The Real World: What Can You Use Arabic For? Common European Framework of Reference Table

Peter Lang AG Diagnostic Writing Assessment: The Development
Book SynopsisThe diagnostic assessment of writing is an important aspect of language testing which has often been neclected in the literature. However, it is an area which poses special challenges to practioners both in the classroom and in large-scale testing situations. This book presents a study which set out to develop and validate a rating scale specifically designed for the diagnostic assessment of writing in an academic English setting. The scale was developed by analysing a large number of writing performances produced by both native speakers of English and learners of English as an additional language. The rating scale was then validated using both quantitative and qualitative methods. The study showed that a detailed data-based rating scale is more valid and more useful for diagnostic purposes than the more commonly used impressionistic rating scale.Table of ContentsContents: Language testing – Language assessment – Writing assessment – ESL – Rating scale development – Rating scale validation – Diagnostic assessment – Diagnostic assessment of writing – Multi-faceted Rasch measurement.

Zondervan Biblical Hebrew Vocabulary by Conceptual Categories
Book SynopsisBiblical Hebrew Vocabulary by Conceptual Categories by J. David Pleins with Jonathan Homrighausen is an innovative study reference intended for both introductory and advanced students of the Hebrew language to help them understand and remember vocabulary based on logical categories of related words. Since our minds acquire and recall language by making associations between related words it is only natural that we would study language in this way. By organizing Hebrew vocabulary into logical categories, as opposed to frequency, students can quickly begin to familiarize themselves with entire groups of terms and more readily acquaint themselves with the ranges of meaning of particular Hebrew words.This reference tool focuses on nouns in the Old Testament, and includes over 175 word grouping categories including pottery, ships, birds, jewelry, seasons, and many more. For each Hebrew term a definition is given and a reference in the Hebrew Bible appears so readers can se
