Prior to session II’s problem clinic, participants are asked to submit a short (1-line) extract of Arabic text, with a sample transliteration and a note on the context, for discussion during the session. During the course, consideration will also be given to issues of bias and ideology. Session II will comprise a “problem clinic” workshop focused on individual texts chosen by each participant and submitted in advance. In the session I, participants will learn about transliteration and transcription, the various conventions and scholarly traditions, linguistic issues, contextual needs, and specific problems of Arabic-to-roman rendering participants will learn and practise contextually appropriate practical transliteration, with tailored feedback from the tutors. The course is a 5-hour practical workshop-style course taught in two sessions.

The course is aimed at professionals, scholars and students who work with Arabic text and would like to acquire knowledge of transliteration systems and gain or improve their practical transliteration skills under the guidance of experienced tutors.
