Requirements: To qualify for a CASA II fellowship, the successful applicant must have completed the CASA Full-Year program within the past five years and must be enrolled in a graduate program in Arabic/Middle Eastern Studies.  Former CASA fellows who graduated more than five years ago may apply for a CASA II fellowship but they must take the CASA Entrance Exam to assess their current level of proficiency in Arabic.

Its power in forming and/or deforming cultural identities has only recently been acknowledged, given the attention it deserves. The chapters in this unique volume assess translation from Arabic into other languages from different perspectives: the politics, economics, ethics, and poetics of translating from Arabic; a language often neglected in western mainstream translation studies.

A good number of new comers to the field as well as old hands are showing unprecedented interest in looking at gaining knowledge of where does Arabic stand in the discipline of foreign language learning and teaching. Some of the pressing questions have to do with: 1. How, when and where one can distinguish between Arabic as a Foreign Language (AFL) and Arabic as a Second Language (ASL)? Need references: books, articles . . .etc 2. What are the minimum qualifications of any person intending to undertake a teaching assignment in the area of AFL or ASL? 3. Where can teachers, especially in public schools, get officially certified as an AFL/ASL teacher? 4. Is there any data bank for materials for all levels that are recommended/reviewed by professionals in the field? What has happened to the ambitious clearing house project that AATA proposed some years/decades ago? While I have limited answers to some of the above questions, I feel that my knowledge may be outdated and inadequate. I seek to open the dialogue over those issues at this critical time in our profession. Thanks in advance, salaam Muhammad S. Eissa, Ph. D.

Its power in forming and/or deforming cultural identities has only recently been acknowledged, given the attention it deserves. The chapters in this unique volume assess translation from Arabic into other languages from different perspectives: the politics, economics, ethics, and poetics of translating from Arabic; a language often neglected in western mainstream translation studies.

A good number of new comers to the field as well as old hands are showing unprecedented interest in looking at gaining knowledge of where does Arabic stand in the discipline of foreign language learning and teaching. Some of the pressing questions have to do with: 1. How, when and where one can distinguish between Arabic as a Foreign Language (AFL) and Arabic as a Second Language (ASL)? Need references: books, articles . . .etc 2. What are the minimum qualifications of any person intending to undertake a teaching assignment in the area of AFL or ASL? 3. Where can teachers, especially in public schools, get officially certified as an AFL/ASL teacher? 4. Is there any data bank for materials for all levels that are recommended/reviewed by professionals in the field? What has happened to the ambitious clearing house project that AATA proposed some years/decades ago? While I have limited answers to some of the above questions, I feel that my knowledge may be outdated and inadequate. I seek to open the dialogue over those issues at this critical time in our profession. Thanks in advance, salaam Muhammad S. Eissa, Ph. D.
