New Arabic class starts winter term By Ailk HMMktehi C>*00n fmmV Most English-speaking people don't realize they use Arabic on a regular basis. Chemistry students use the word "alkaline” when referring to a chem ical with a pH greater than seven. Alcohol was developed by the Ara bic people when they became inter ested in chemistry. Algebra was also developed by the Arabs. Beginning winter term, a three credit class in beginning standard Arabic will be offered by the lin guistics department, taught by a native speaker. Abed IGiooli. a physics graduate teaching fellow from the West Bank, is planning the class. “1 looked around and found that people don’t really know much about either the languages or the culture of the Middle East." Khooti said. "Arabic is spoken in 22 coun tries and is the basis of the Islamic culture, which is shared by more than a billion people. This is an international university, and I thought it would be fun to teach the language here." The class will be offered as a spe cial studies section by the linguistics department. It will appear in the w inter schedule of classes as LING 190 and will be limited to 15 stu dents. Graduate students may take it as LING 605 with departmental approval. There is no prerequisite. The class will use a textbook pub lished by Cambridge University that will cost $29. Khooli also hopes to use computer software to produce handouts in Arabic for use in class. “I would like to steer the course according to what the students want," he said. Khooli said English has borrowed several Arabic terms over the cen turies. many of them beginning with the prefix "al-,” which is the equiv alent to the word "tho." These include scientific terms in astrono my. chemistry and mathematics. Khooli is from the West Bank, a disputed region between Israel and Jordan. He completed his under graduate degree in physics at the University of York in England.
