Arabic Self-Learning

This program, available in two prototypes (for native non-specialists, and non-natives), uses the spatial and thematic metaphor of a home in Damascus, Syria, and a classroom at Damascus University to access the learner to myriad learning experiences in a contextually-based Arabic language learning situations. Learners will be exposed to interactions, characters, and scenarios, utilizing available text, sound and video to understand the two stories in the prototype, and eventually develop their own story (s) using the same Arabic structures and vocabulary.

Although the electronic prototypes are not posted on this site, due to difficulty in transferring the original software format into the contemporary browser, you may access the list of references (published papers) that discuss these prototypes. These papers are listed on this web page, and they are posted as PDF files as well.
