When Tamazight was part of the world -- $tIndex 330 $aLanguage teaching and learning were crucial to Europeans? colonial, national, and individual enterprises in the Levant, and in these processes, ?Oriental language teachers? ? as they were termed prior to the Second World War ? were fundamental. European state nationalisms influenced and increasingly competed with each other by promoting their languages and cultures abroad, by means of both private and governmental actors. At the same time, learning Arabic became more prominent around the Mediterranean. The first half of the twentieth century corresponded with the emergence of new media; language was thought of as a cultural product to be exported into new cultural spaces. However, many blind spots remain in the history of linguistic thought and practices, including the forgotten and neglected voices of those involved in learning and teaching Arabic. This volume aims to revisit aspects of this linguistic encounter, including its vision, profile, priorities, trajectories, and practices. 410 0$aLanguages and Culture in History Series 606 $aArabic language$xStudy and teaching$xHistory 606 $aHISTORY / Middle East / Israel & Palestine$2bisacsh 615 0$aArabic language$xStudy and teaching$xHistory. 615 7$aHISTORY / Middle East / Israel & Palestine. 700 $aIrving$b Sarah$01667674 701 $aSanchez-Summerer$b Karene$00 701 $aMairs$b Rachel$0611680 701 $aAdmiraal$b Lucia$01788979 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910946478103321 996 $aColonial Vocabularies$94324331 997 $aUNINA
