Present a workshop:

Arabic for Communication

May 23-24, 2005
Georgetown University

with
Dr. Mahmoud Al-Batal, Emory University
Dr. Amin Bonnah, Georgetown University
Dr. Kristen Brustad, Emory University
Dr. Karin Ryding, Georgetown University
and, as Moderator,
Dr. Kassem Wahba, Georgetown University

Arabic teachers of all levels and graduate students
with aprofessional interest in teaching Arabic – not
only from Georgetown but other regional universities
and programs – are encouraged to attend.

Except for the first presentation, Arabic will be the
language of the workshop.  It is an opportunity for
professionals in the field to meet, network, enhance
and augment their skills with the latest techniques
and materials from experts in the field.

The aim of this workshop is to promote communicative
language techniques that will help Arabic teachers
establish a working competence for learners of Arabic.
It will provide effective communicative language
teaching and learning methods in terms of knowledge,
skills and techniques.

The workshop team will prepare and distribute handouts
and materials in addition to their presentations.  At
the end of the workshop, discussion will be held where
teachers can comment, present questions and share
advice on different methods and issues which enhance
the communicative skills of their students.
