A New Approach to Teaching Arabic Grammar

Abdallah Nacereddine first taught Arabic in the United States before moving to Switzerland, where he led Arabic language courses at the League of Arab States and in conjunction with the Arab-Swiss Chamber of Commerce. He directed his own Institute for Arabic Language Teaching in Geneva, Lausanne, Bern, and Zurich, and taught Arabic at the United Nations in Geneva for over twenty-two years. At present, he is teaching at the International Labour Office. His teaching materials are the result of this experience and have been thoroughly tested in class. One of the first Arabic grammar books was published in the 13th century, under the title al-Alfia (didactic treatise in one thousand lines) by Ibn Malek (600-673 A. H. / 1203-1274 A. D) Since that time, Arabic grammar has not changed at all. In 1636, Thomas Erpenius published his definitive work, Grammatica Arabica, in Latin at Leiden. He followed a methodology which suited the European mind and adopted a specific terminology, which had to be applied by every non Arabic-speaking grammarian. Following this, several Arabic grammar books were published in different languages. Contrary to the grammar of other languages which have continued to evolve, Arabic grammar has remained unchanged. There are already a certain number of Arabic grammar books. What then is the point of publishing yet another? From his childhood, the author studied Arabic grammar, mainly from the al-Alfia treatise. He started to teach it in exactly the same archaic manner that he had learnt it. It was when he began to teach Arabic at the United Nations in Geneva to non-Arabic speakers in a multicultural context that he had to learn a new teaching method and its terminology. He therefore started to follow the European methodology for teaching Arabic grammar and to use its terminology.

I therefore had to readapt this methodology for my own teaching needs. For this
reason, I considered it useful and urgent to publish a new Arabic grammar book. I
undertook this task, not only as a teacher of Arabic, but also as a student of
several other languages, while at the same time continuing to increase my
knowledge of the Arabic language. This enabled me to make comparisons
between these languages on the one hand and Arabic on the other. However, I
certainly have not ...

Sherlock Holmes

The Adventure of the Dead Rabbits Society

"With great disbelief Cornelius J. Watson, a descendent of Doctor John H. Watson and his wife, Mary, nee Marsden, held the yellowed, dog-eared manuscript in his hands." Thus we are introduced to one of the greatest finds of the new millennium, the discovery of a manuscript of Doctor Watson’s; the finding of a previously lost adventure of the greatest detective ever to exist, Mr. Sherlock Holmes. All Holmes’ fans can rejoice in the discovery. The Adventure of the Dead Rabbits Society is Holmes at his best.

have no doubt that Sherlock Holmes, while living under the alias of Simon
Hawkes in New York City, recalled fondly more than once the Diogenes Club
back in London, the organization of which his brother, Mycroft Holmes, was one
of the founders. Holmes and his brother shared many consanguine traits, an
aversion to romantic entanglements and a general difficulty to form close
friendships being prime examples. Both shared too a desire at times to withdraw
into their own thoughts ...

Misgovernment

When Lawful Authority Prevents Justice and Prosperity

Why are so many countries so poorly governed? In Misgovernment, Mark Lipse presents a compelling theory - that misgovernment is the almost inevitable legacy of lawmakers ignoring natural rights when setting up the legal, administrative and constitutional powers of governments. The result, especially in developing countries, is “predatory jurisdiction”, or government powers, which, while lawful, and generally viewed as normal and natural, actually have the potential to be massively unjust and destructive. In this cogently reasoned work, Lipse explains exactly how benchmarks can be established to identify such inappropriate government powers, and the standards of justice that should be applied in assessing them. An informed citizenry is an essential element in the struggle against misgovernment, injustice and poverty. Misgovernment provides a new set of ideas about governance to further the practical application of the underlying principle - that classical natural rights do provide a solid platform for truly benign yet effective social activism.

In this cogently reasoned work, Lipse explains exactly how benchmarks can be established to identify such inappropriate government powers, and the standards of justice that should be applied in assessing them.

From Trafalgar to Tahrir

It Happened Like This

Musings by Bob

My writing is best described as bed-time stories. There is no theme to the book and each of the accounts is the result of a random thought process. Some of you will wonder what 'thought process?' and others will wonder why he concentrated on such zany topics. My response would be that my brain works in mysterious ways. It remains active on long airplane flights where sleep comes sporadically if at all or on long car trips where fits of sleep come more easily than on airplanes. In some ways, the contents of the book are a history of my life, from boyhood to advanced years. The years have been good ones, with only a disruption thrown in here and there.
