Book Description
This dictionary has been produced specifically as a resource for foreign learners of Sudanese Arabic. The language is spoken in Khartoum and throughout most of the Republic of Sudan, but it is essentially an unwritten language, since Modern Standard Arabic is almost always used for written communications. Foreigners therefore do not find it easy to learn the spoken language, though some coursebooks do exist. So this dictionary will be invaluable for both beginning language learners and those who have already made progress in learning the language. It should supply all the vocabulary needed for everyday conversations and many working situations. Rianne Tamis holds an M.A. in Semitic Languages from the Catholic University of Nijmegen. She has worked at the Catholic Language Institute of Khartoum since 2002 as assistant director, course editor and teacher of Sudanese Arabic. Janet Persson has an M.A. in Linguistic Science from Reading University. For many years she has been involved in linguistic research with SIL International in a number of languages, including Sudanese Arabic. She and her husband Andrew are the authors of Sudanese colloquial Arabic for beginners.

Excerpt: Arabic ( ( listen) or ( listen)) is a name applied to the descendants of the Classical Arabic language of the 6th century AD. This includes both the literary language and varieties of Arabic spoken in a wide arc of territory stretching across the Middle East and North Africa. The literary language is called Modern Standard Arabic or Literary Arabic. It is currently the only official form of Arabic, used in most written documents as well as in formal spoken occasions, such as lectures and news broadcasts. However, this varies from one country to the other. In 1912, Moroccan Arabic was official in Morocco for some time, before Morocco joined the Arab League. Arabic languages are Central Semitic languages, most closely related to Hebrew, Aramaic, Ugaritic and Phoenician. The standardized written Arabic is distinct from and more conservative than all of the spoken varieties, and the two exist in a state known as diglossia, used side-by-side for different societal functions. Some of the spoken varieties are mutually unintelligible, both written and orally, and the...

Book Description
THIS BOOK DOESN'T CONTAIN ANY ARABIC LETTERS! ALL ARABIC WORDS IN THIS BOOK WERE WRITTEN IN ENGLISH-TRANSLITERATION! Have you always wanted to learn how to speak the Sudanese Arabic dialect but simply didn’t have the time? Well if so, then, look no further. You can hold in your hands one of the most advanced and revolutionary method that was ever designed for quickly becoming conversational in a language. In creating this time-saving program, master linguist Yatir Nitzany spent years examining the twenty-seven most common languages in the world and distilling from them the three hundred and fifty words that are most likely to be used in real conversations. These three hundred and fifty words were chosen in such a way that they were structurally interrelated and, when combined, form sentences. Through various other discoveries about how real conversations work—discoveries that are detailed further in this book—Nitzany created the necessary tools for linking these words together in a specific way so that you may become rapidly and almost effortlessly conversant—now. If your desire is to learn complicated grammatical rules or to speak perfectly proper and precise Arabic, this book is not for you. However, if you need to actually hold a conversation while on a trip to Sudan, to impress that certain someone, or to be able to speak with your grandfather or grandmother as soon as possible, then the Nitzany Method is what you have been looking for. This book is recommended for those who already have some prior knowledge of the pronunciation of Arabic accents (such as the Arabic accents: ayin, ghayn, ha, and khaf). For those of you who do not, this book does indeed provide some great, in-depth techniques on the pronunciation and recognition of these accents, that you will encounter throughout the program. These techniques have proven extremely beneficial for beginner students who were previously unfamiliar with these accent pronunciations. But keep in mind this isn’t a pronunciation book! Keep in mind that Sudanese dialect is not an official language, but rather is a colloquial dialect. The purpose of my method is solely to give you the tools to create your own sentences in order to become conversational, while in regards to grammar, pronunciation, etc., you are on your own! This method is designed for fluency in a foreign language, while communicating in the first person present tense. Nitzany believes that what’s most important is actually being able to understand and be understood by another human being right away. Therefore, unlike other courses, all words in this program are taught in English transliteration, without having to learn the complex alphabet. More formalized training in grammar rules, etc., can come later. This is one of the several, in a series of instructional language guides, the Nitzany Method’s revolutionary approach is the only one in the world that uses its unique language technology to actually enable you to speak and understand native speakers in the shortest amount of time possible. No more depending on volumes of books of fundamental, beginner, intermediate, and advanced levels, all with hundreds of pages in order to learn a language. With Conversational Arabic Quick and Easy, all you need are forty-four pages. Learn Sudanese Arabic today and get started now!

Book Description
The decline of English language standards among Sudanese university students and graduates has become one of the issues, which has preoccupied public opinion in Sudan. Media, employers, parents, and school and university teachers are concerned about the falling standards of English language among Sudanese students and graduates. Therefore, the objective of this study is to investigate the impact of the medium of instruction on the English language proficiency of Sudanese medical students. Four instruments were used to collect data for this study. The first was a writing test, which aimed at assessing the English language proficiency of two groups of students; namely a group that studied through the medium of English, and a group that studied through the medium of Arabic. The English-medium students were second year medical students at Khartoum University, Sudan, while the Arabic-medium students were second year medical students at Gezera University, Sudan. A sample of 151 students was chosen from the former group, and a sample of 155 students was chosen from the latter group. The second instrument was a survey questionnaire to elicit students' perceptions on the effect of using Arabic as a medium of instruction on the English language proficiency of Sudanese medical students. The questionnaire was administered to 201 participants from both Khartoum University and Gezera University. The third instrument was a survey questionnaire for teachers, academicians, employers, and language policy makers to elicit their perceptions on the effect of using Arabic as a medium of instruction on the English language proficiency of Sudanese medical students and their perceptions on factors that have led to the deterioration of English language standards in Sudan. The questionnaire was administered to 30 academicians and 30 English language teachers working at Khartoum and Gezera Universities respectively, 10 employers working at University of Khartoum, Ministry of Health and Ministry of Education, and 6 language policy makers working at University of Khartoum and Ministry of Education. The fourth instrument was an interview to obtain detailed information and rich data about the impact of using Arabic as a medium of instruction on the English language proficiency of Sudanese medical students. It was also used to obtain insights on factors contributing to the deterioration of English standards among these students. The results show that using Arabic as a medium of instruction has an adverse effect on the English language proficiency of Sudanese medical students. The results also indicate that low wages and salaries, lack of motivation on the part of students, syllabuses which do not meet the needs of students, lack of adequate training for teachers, poor English proficiency among university new entrants, and the problem of large classes were the other factors responsible for the deterioration of English standards among Sudanese medical students.
