ARABIC LANGUAGE AT PENN

ARABIC PROGRAM AT PENN

Arabic teaching at Penn began in 1788. For most of the last two centuries, primary emphasis in the language component of the program has been on the acquisition of an advanced reading skill within the context of a traditional of the study of the Orient in the ancient and medieval periods built on the principles of philology. The study of Arabic as a living language at Penn is of much more recent vintage. While institutions such as Georgetown and Michigan followed national trends in that direction during the 1950s, it was not until the foundation of a Middle east Center at Penn in the mid- 1960s that steps began to be taken to change the emphasis of the Arabic language program. More recently, Penn's pioneer role in the implementation of proficiency-based instruction and testing has made its Arabic program one of the most prominent Arabic programs in the country.

 

RATIONALE BEHIND PROGRAM & COURSE OFFERINGS

Even with the shift to the study of Arabic as a modern language, most institutions have continued to lay the greatest stress in courses in non-Western languages on the acquisition of the reading skill. It is the recent emergence of "proficiency" as a national trend which has focused a great deal of attention on the oral-aural skills and has also served to re-emphasize the acquisitional benefits of the inter-relationships between the four skills.

For this reason, the Arabic program at Penn now adopts a four- skills approach to the teaching of all basic-level language courses. All students are expected to be able to function adequately within all four skills. Allowance is however made for students to indicate their own emphases or to compensate for their weaknesses in that, in the evaluation process, poor competence in one skill can be counterbalanced by better competence in another.

All language courses in Arabic at Penn are proficiency-based. Students are evaluated on their ability to perform authentic tasks in the target language. Their success is measured on a scale devised by the American Council for the Teaching of Foreign Languages (ACTFL) and the Educational testing Service (ETS), in a way which assessed their ability to communicate with and receive information form, a native speaker of the target language.

Beyond the basic-level sequence of courses (6 course units), there are two further courses (each one semester) which emphasize one of the "active" skills (writing [FALL] and speaking [SPRING]), each of which incorporates within it activities involving the equivalent "passive" skill (reading and listening). Alongside these skill- based courses are: a course in advanced syntax of Arabic and three courses devoted to readings in specific areas: social-sciences, Islamics, and literature, each of which emphasizes the development of genuine reading skills and the building-up of specified vocabularies.

At this stage it is normal for the undergraduate segment of the Arabic language program to come to an end. Either at the end of the undergraduate career or at some point in their graduate career, students who attain this advanced level may apply to attend the US Department of Education-sponsored Arabic program in Cairo (the Center for Arabic Study Abroad--CASA) for either a summer or an academic year. Admission is on the basis of a higly competitive national examination in Arabic. On this program, courses are offered in the colloquial dialect of Cairo, the Arabic of the media, advanced listening and note-taking (in the second semester, taking a regular course at an Egyptian university taught in Arabic), and a series of courses on academic subjects. A further opportunity for undergraduate students during the summer months is the Arabic School at Middlebury College in Vermont where, in a living-learning environment which requires that Arabic only be spoken, students are able to enhance all four of their language skills as part of an extremely intensive and demanding program.

Beyond this level Penn offers a series of graduate seminar courses which concentrate on the application of a highly advanced reading skill to the areas specified within the graduate program.
