Degerli Arkadaslar,

 

Asagida ilginizi çekebilecegini düsündügüm bir dizi baglanti yer aliyor. Ögrencilerimizin hep Türkçe üzerinden duyduklari ve/ya konustuklari seylerin bir kez de Ingilizcelerini okumak, bu aya özgü terim ve kavramlarin Ingilizcelerini ögrenmek onlarin (bir bölümünün) ilgisini çekebilecektir.

 

Tabii, Ingilizce'de bir (sorun demeyelim ama) 'özellik' var. Islam'a özgü terim ve kavramlarin bir bölümü Amerikan Müslümanlarinin "Ingilizcesi"; bir bölümü Arap kökenli kisilerin "Ingilizcesi". Bu bakimdan kimi terimlerin Ingilizcelerini siz daha baska biliyor olabilirsiniz. Yine de terim/kavramlarin sözlüksel öge düzeyinde kalan tartisilabilirlikleri bir yana birakilirsa, Ingilizce metin olarak bakildiginda derslerde kullanilabilir -- ilgilenebilecek ögrencilerle...

 

(Not: "Cumhuriyet münasebetiyle" mektubum da 28-29 Ekim'de gelecektir.)
