The Modern Arabic Course--A Challenge.

Campbell, Stuart J.

International Review of Applied Linguistics in Language Teaching, v24 n2 p145-56 May 1986

Investigates why graduates of Arabic courses in English-speaking countries are so few in number and why they so often compare poorly in spoken language performance with graduates of other language courses. The most important factor in this phenomenom is the gap that separates written Arabic from spoken Arabic. (SED)
