{"product_id":"arabic-as-one-language-mahmoud-al-batal-9781626165045","title":"Arabic as One Language: Integrating Dialect in the Arabic Language Curriculum","description":"\u003cp\u003eFor decades, students learning the Arabic language have begun with Modern Standard Arabic (MSA) and then transitioned to learning spoken Arabic. While the MSA-first approach neither reflects the sociolinguistic reality of the language nor gives students the communicative skills required to fully function in Arabic, the field continues to debate the widespread adoption of this approach. Little research or evidence has been presented about the effectiveness of integrating dialect in the curriculum. With the recent publication of textbooks that integrate dialect in the Arabic curriculum, however, a more systematic analysis of such integration is clearly becoming necessary.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eIn this seminal volume, Mahmoud Al-Batal gathers key scholars who have implemented integration to present data and research on the method's success. The studies address curricular models, students' outcomes, and attitudes of students and teachers using integration in their curricula. This volume is an essential resource for all teachers of Arabic language and those working in Teaching Arabic as a Foreign Language (TAFL).\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Mahmoud Al-Batal\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1626165041\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781626165045\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Georgetown University Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 12\/04\/2017\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 352\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.00lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.90h x 6.00w x 0.80d","brand":"Mahmoud Al-Batal","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":43979423645951,"sku":"9781626165045","price":42.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_c499361e-a01e-40a2-bffd-d26d1528c395.jpg?v=1683245463","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/arabic-as-one-language-mahmoud-al-batal-9781626165045","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
