  • American Studies in Jordan and the UNC/UJ Partnership Program
    On Teaching American Studies in Jordan and the UNC/UJ Partnership Program Tawfiq Yousef American studies in Jordan and in the Middle East is relatively new. The oldest programs of American studies in the region were first established in Turkey, such as the one in Baskent University, Ankara, which was established after the 1950s.The other programs in Egypt, Israel, Palestine, Bahrain, Iran, and Lebanon are more recent, and the earliest in Egypt dates back to the 1990s while the other ones all have been founded after the turn of the century. These programs differ in their nature and structure from one country to another. They vary in their levels, credit hour requirements, affiliation (the faculties or departments responsible for offering them), as well as in their status (degree-granting programs, undergraduate course-offering programs, or research centers), etc. In Jordan, American studies is offered in the University of Jordan and at the postgraduate level. This program (begun in 2000) and the program offered at Al-Quds University (established in 2002) are the only two graduate programs in the Middle East that offer MA degrees in American studies. American studies is also taught at the Hashemite University as part of their undergraduate program in English and cultural studies. In Egypt, American studies is taught in one way or another at the American University in Cairo (AUC) where the School of Humanities and Social Sciences offers, through the American Studies and Research Center, a minor in American studies in an interdisciplinary program in which students take a minimum of five courses ( 15 credits among specified 0026-3079/2006/4703/4-151S2.50/0 American Studies, 47:3/4 (Fall-Winter 2006): 151-166 151 152 TawfiqYousef offerings involving the study of the history and culture of the United States).

  • The Effect of the Language of Instruction on University Participants` Acquisition of Scientific Terms
    European Scientific Journal November edition vol.25 ISSN 1857- 7431 THE EFFECT OF THE LANGUAGE OF INSTRUCTION ON UNIVERSITY PARTICIPANTS` ACQUISITION OF SCIENTIFIC TERMS Mahmoud Sabri Al-Asal, PhD Jadara University, Jordan Oqlah Smadi, PhD Yarmouk University, Jordan Abstract: The present study aimed to investigate the effect of the language of instruction on the participants’ acquisition of the scientific terms with respect to their knowledge, usage, proficiency, adoption and evaluation in two Arab universities. The faculty members and the students of the faculties of Engineering and Medical sciences in the Jordan University of Science and Technology (JUST), where the medium of instruction is English , and the University of Damascus (UD), where Arabic is the medium of instruction, were the participants in the study. They were 991 students of different scientific fields at JUST, and 729 students at the UD. The students ranged from third-year level to graduate studies level. Also, 132 faculty members in different scientific fields at JUST, and 109 faculty members at the UD participated in the study. The results of the study show that there were statistically significant differences between the means of the criteria of knowledge, usage, proficiency, adoption and evaluation of the Arabicized terms due to the effect of the language of instruction (i.e., English language) in favor of JUST, and there were statistically significant differences between the means of the criteria of knowledge, usage, proficiency, adoption and evaluation of the Arabic equivalent terms due to the effect of the language of instruction (i.e., Arabic) in favor of the UD. The results of the study, also show that the percentage of the participants’ responses to the items that ask about their use of the Arabicized scientific terms in JUST is 93.3%, which is higher than that in UD which was 27.8%.

  • UF Connections in Jordan Visiting Students, Scholars & Researchers
    UF Connections in Jordan Jordan is situated in the Middle East. Its capital city is Amman. The US Department of State estimates its total population at 8,185,384. Information about travelling to Jordan is on the Department of State website. The Center for Disease Control and Prevention also has useful travel information on their website. The University of Florida and institutions across the country of Jordan have collaborated on a variety of initiatives covering a broad range of subjects, including tourism, social studies, livelihoods, and poverty analysis. Visiting Students, Scholars & Researchers During the 2014–2015 academic year, UF hosted eight Jordanian students and scholars. Visiting Students, Scholars, and Researchers Undergraduate Graduate Non-degree OPT Exchange Visitors 1 6 0 0 1 UF Students in Jordan During the 2014–2015 academic year (most recent data available), two UF students studied in Jordan. As of spring 2016, UF has no active reciprocal agreements with universities in Jordan. Reciprocal agreements are the foundation for the exchange programs in which so many UF students are involved. In an exchange program, students pay UF tuition and are assigned UF course equivalencies for the work they do abroad. Reciprocal agreements provide for the equal exchange of students between the University of Florida and an international accredited institution. Agreements are typically valid for three years initially and can be renewed through a signed addendum, if both parties agree. For information on establishing a reciprocal agreement in Jordan, visit http://ufic.ufl.edu/Agreements-RecipProcedures.html. Produced by the Office for Global Research Engagement in collaboration with the International Studies Program at the University of Florida International Center 2016 Cooperative Agreements Cooperative Agreements are broad declarations of intent for the promotion of exchanging faculty and students as well as the exchange of academic and research information.
