Arabic Webcasts

Arabic Webcasts

Welcome to Arabic words in the news. يقول ابن خلدون :الملكة اللسانية الصحيحة تتكون بتكرار الاستماع الى اللغة الفصيحة وممارستها كلاماً وقراءة وكتابة
Research has shown strong evidence that listening comprehension and language acquisition are closely related. Further, listening skill transfers to other skills, and promoting listening skills before focusing on oral skills results in increased second language acquisition.For Strategies for Developing Listening Skills :www.nclrc.org/essentials/listening/stratlisten. www.studygs.net/langlearn.htm

The News in Simplified Arabic is posted to the web twice monthly and delivers a survey of the previous two weeks' news in simplified standard Arabic. Listeners of Voice of America's "Special English" broadcasts will recognize the slightly slower rate of speech and textual redundancy which characterize these webcasts.
