Conondrums of Arabic instruction in Israel -- The field of Arabic instruction in Israel: underachievement in the Jewish sector -- The tertiary education system and the double alienation of Israeli Arabs from Arabic -- A cognitive clash in the classroom: the incommensurability of Jewish and Arab grammars of Arabic -- Arabic-grammar instruction: systemic and cognitive implications. |
| Summary |
In 'Arabic Instruction in Israel' Allon J. Uhlmann confronts two conundrums, namely the persistently poor level of Arabic proficiency among Jewish Arabic students and teachers, and the traumatic alienation of Arab students by university Arabic grammar instruction.00These are not aberrations but rather direct, albeit unintended, systemic consequences of the field of Arabic instruction, where Jewish students encounter Arabic as a dead, hostile language; Jewish hegemony devalues native Arabic proficiency; and Arab students are locked into a fractured educational trajectory? encountering two alienating and mutually unintelligible grammars of Arabic at school and at university.00By tracing systemic variabilities in cognition and learning Uhlmann exposes hitherto misrecognised dynamics that hinder Arabic instruction in Israel, thereby offering new avenues for possible change. |
