أذن سمراء ... أذن شقراء = Black ear ... blonde ear - عن هذا الكتاب

أذن سمراء ... أذن شقراء = Black ear ... blonde ear - عن هذا الكتاب

في هذه القصة, تعيش مجموعتان من القطط, القطط ذات اللون الفاتح و القطط السمراء, على جوانب مختلفة للنهر. و يتفقون أن قط أسود سوف يقود جميع القطط نصف العام بينما يقودها قط فاتح اللون لنصف العام. و لكن تندلع المعارك بين المجموعتين. و فجأة يولد قط رمادي و هو عاقل و كل القطط تحبه و يقررون أن يجعلوه قائدهم طول العام. و يهدأ الوضع لمدة من الزمن ثم تنشب المعارك ثانية. يأمر القط الرمادي جميع القطط بنزع اذانها و أن يعطوها له و عند رد الأذان للقطط تأخذ القطط السمراء أذان القطط الشقراء و العكس بالعكس. و فجأة تسمع كل مجموعة أصوات لم تسمعها من قبل: أصوات المجموعة الأخرى. في نهاية القصة تقول قطيطة سمراء لأخرى بيضاء هل كنا فعلا في حاجة لتبادل اذاننا لكي نتمكن من سماع بعضنا البعض؟

Wordle is a toy for generating “word clouds” from text that you provide. The clouds give greater prominence to words that appear more frequently in the source text. You can tweak your clouds with different fonts, layouts, and color schemes. The images you create with Wordle are yours to use however you like. You can print them out, or save them to the Wordle gallery to share with your friends.

Arabic Free Downloads

Arabic Free Downloads
Message from the author:

Here and upon many requests from students and researchers of Arabic language and Middle Eastern studies, I would like to offer you -my guests- free samples from my books (still working on them). I hope you'll find them useful, and please feel free to give them away to any one interested. Naturally, I will appreciate any feedback, especially from specialists and teachers even if they disagree. I know, writing about Arabic is like in Europe when they started to translate and re-interpret the bible some six or seven centuries ago!
The downloads are mostly files in "pdf" format. This means you need the program Acrobat Reader to open them. If you don't have it, click here to download it. For us, the best thing in this file format is that, unlike word processors or text editors that need Arabic version to read Arabic, it can read Arabic without having the Arabic version of the program.
Problems of Spoken-Written Arabic
A basic analysis of the problems of the Arabic language duality that started in the nineteenth century. The analysis includes the difficulties which non-natives face when learning Arabic along with historical, political and cultural background explanation. It also includes dialects map and vocabulary and language comparison.
Arabic Plural System
It includes Spoken and Written, regular and irregular, nouns and adjectives etc.
Grammatical Comparison
A basic comparison includes Verb conjugation, personal pronouns, demonstrative pronouns and question markers.
The Arabic Keyboard
How to type the extra Arabic letters, symbols and vowels that are not written on the keyboard buttons.

Cultural Duality
Aspects of Cultural Duality in the Arab World.

Vocabulary Analysis
Separation between Form and Functions

Words Blending
words blending and synthesis are produced by combing parts of other words, as in English Smog and Smoke and Fog, it is found in Arabic as well as many other world languages.
The Arabic Idioms
Maybe the best in this list. It is originally from my dictionary The Art Of Speech.

Technology Module: Using Digital Cameras

Technology Module: Using Digital Cameras:
"Using Digital Cameras for Language Learning
Digital cameras have become the common way to record everything around us, and as such they can be a very flexible tool in the classroom. Digital cameras have become much more reasonably priced and it is very easy to download your photos to your computer. From your computer, you can manipulate them, make projects with your photos in them, upload them to the internet, and share them with the world. Students can use graphics that you have captured for them, or they can capture their own. Teachers are starting to take advantage of the 'linked in' capabilities that more and more students have, sending them out to capture what they see with their cell phones!
In this module, you will take some photos, use a free photo editing program to make changes to your photos, and then use your photos in a project. At the end of this module, you will be able to:
1. define the tool and what it can do
2. explain the various uses for the tool for language teaching and learning
3. create an activity using the tool
4. evaluate the use of the tool for your teaching circumstances"

Introduction: Technology for Language Learning
http://www.carla.umn.edu/technology/modules/intro/index.html
There are a lot of technology tutorials online for teachers, and tech instruction is also available to teachers in their schools or districts as hands-on courses or workshops. However, much of the time those workshops and tutorials consist of generic content aimed at teaching "how to's" or the "button-pushing" skills of particular computer tools. What those generic workshops are missing is the "application" piece: in our case, the application of technology specifically for language teaching and learning.
