Quiz on Thursday, October 14

ahlan ya shabaab اهلا يا شباب

Tullaabi fii Arabic 401:

Your quiz on Thursday will be dictation on the new definitions in Unit 5 that include "shedda" "seen" and "sheen". I counted 15 in total. So you will be given dictation from that list, as well as a vocab section asking you about words from the same list.

طلابي في 503:

Your امتحان will be on your المفردات و المضارع المنصوب from chapter 10. You will be asked a task much like what we did in class with تمرين 9.

Midterm

أهلا يا شباب ahlan ya shabaab

I would like to make two announcements:

- There will be no class on Wednesday,October 20.

- Your midterm; a written piece that will be orally presented in class, will be on Monday, October 18.

We will have a chance to talk about both these points in class.

Corey's flash cards

Ahlan my fellow student,


I’ve created computerized flashcards that are accessible from any computer or mobile device. I will be adding to this collection of “digital card decks” as the semester goes on as well as into next semester of Arabic. I can see that some have already started using them.

The decks currently include:

-Units 1-3 vocab from charts

-Unit 4's numeral chart

-All of the vocab we can write out plus additional words given to us by Ruwa (this deck will grow as the year goes on)

This list will grow as the year goes on.



To access the files go to http://www.iFlipr.com

Then click Decks, then search, then type UNH. You will see the decks there.

There is a 5 dollar iphone app available as well that will load faster than using your mobile phone browser.

I only ask that as a service you email me and correct me when you have found a mistake and in addition help me start an Arabic support group to work on homework together even if its over web cams. Thank you.

For Monday

Aizzaai-Tullaab fi Arabic 401,

In addition to coming on Monday well prepared with written sentences of greetings and introductions to activate in class, I would like to remind you of the following. Do drill 9, and drill 10 , and practice reading the words in drill 11. We will go over all that in class.

اعزائي الطلاب في Arabic 503,

Don't forget to review your المفردات, and learn the Ordinal Numbers, as well as study "What time is it?"

Two IA alumni give public talks

A public talk that two IA alumni will give on October 8 from 10:00 to 11:30 am at the Mub Entertainment Center.

Daniel Hilliard (’88), an international studies and political science major, is executive director of the Zoo Conservation Outreach Group, an organization affiliated with the Audubon Zoo and concerned with the preservation of species in Latin America. He is an adjunct assistant professor at the Georgetown University Public Policy Institute.
Robert Leavitt (’88), who paired his international affairs major with English, works in the White House where he is a National Security Council director for Africa.

I can imagine that the career paths of those 2 men may be an inspiration for a lot of our dual IA and language majors. For more information please go to:
