  • Language Ideologies, Schooling and Islam in Qatar
    Language in the Mirror: Language Ideologies, Schooling and Islam in Qatar Rehenuma Asmi Submitted in partial fulfillment of the Requirements for the degree of Doctorate of Philosophy under the executive committee of the Graduate School of Arts and Sciences COLUMBIA UNIVERSITY 2013 © 2013 Rehenuma Asmi All rights reserved ABSTRACT Language in the Mirror: Language Ideologies, Schooling and Islam Rehenuma Asmi My study explores language ideologies in the capital city of Doha, Qatar, where school reform movements are placing greater emphasis on English language acquisition. Through ethnography and a revised theory of language ideologies, I argue that as languages come in greater contact in multi-lingual spaces, mediation must occur between the new and old relationships that are emerging as a result of population growth, policy changes and cross-cultural interactions. I interrogate the development concept of the “knowledge economy” as it is used to justify old and new language ideologies regarding Arabic and English. As Qataris change their education systems in response to the economic development framework of the “knowledge economy,” they are promoting language ideologies that designate English as useful for the economy and “global” citizenship and Qatari Arabic and Standard Arabic as useful for religious and cultural reasons. I argue that Standard English, through its association with the “knowledge economy,” becomes “de-localized” and branded an “international” language. This ideology presents English as a modern language free of the society in which it is embedded, to circulate around the globe. In contrast, Standard Arabic is represented as stiff, archaic language of religious traditions and Qatari Arabic is presented as the language of oral culture and ethnonationalism.

  • TAPPING the POTENTIAL of YOUTH Hope That All Those Who Attended Benefited from the Opportunity to Practise the Knowledge They Acquired During the Conference
    THE REACH OUT TO ASIA QUARTERLY NEWSLETTER, ISSUE 7, JUNE 2016 EMPOWERING YOUTH GLOBALLY OTA has always placed great importance on youth – be it the empowerment of R Qatari youngsters, or those in distant regions. ROTA’s aim is to reach out to youth in disadvantaged communities around the world, and provide them with academic support, technological assistance, and skills for self- employment. ROTA has been collaborating with several like- minded sponsors and partners to achieve these goals. Our Yemen initiative, a joint effort with CARE International and Silatech, is improving economic opportunities for hundreds of youth. Our collaboration with Mercy Corps in the West Bank in a project called Supporting Palestinian Education and Employment Development will increase job opportunities for Palestinian youth. In Tunisia, we work with Islamic Relief-Tunisia to improve the quality of education through capacity building of schools and libraries. Primary and vocational schools are also being built in Cambodia, thanks to our collaboration with the Monithapana Foundation. ROTA’s work doesn’t stop there. As part of our ongoing efforts to provide underprivileged youth in Asia with education, a group of Qatar University students was recently sent to Indonesia to help expand the skills of local students there. An initiative in Nepal, called Not Your Average Spring Break, saw university students visit western Nepal to provide opportunities through workshops. Trips like these are also beneficial to ROTA volunteers who develop their own life skills through volunteering. ROTA’s Youth Service Clubs are also aiding the development of leadership skills and an understanding of international and community building issues.
