Subject: STARTALK Arabic Academy for Teachers

Professional Development for Instructors of Arabic

Innovative and Engaging Teaching Methods using primarily Arabic as Language of Instruction 

Penn State STARTALK Arabic Academy for Teachers 
June 22–30, 2011, at Penn State University Park


The Penn State STARTALK Arabic Academy for Teachers is a federally funded professional development program for teachers of Arabic in middle school, high school, and college and university environments. Teachers of other subjects who are preparing to offer Arabic classes, graduate students planning careers that will include teaching Arabic, and experienced teachers of Arabic seeking to expand their awareness of current teaching methods are all welcome.

This blended learning program consists of an online preparation component, a nine-day on-site component at Penn State University Park (June 22–30), and an online follow-up component. 

The program provides participants with information about, and practice in, innovative teaching methodologies for Modern Standard Arabic, with a focus on helping teachers remain in the target language, and use little or no English in their Arabic classroom. 

For a description of the curriculum and the application process, visit www.outreach.psu.edu/programs/language-institute/startalk-teachers.html.

Participants can earn 2 to 3 college credits for completing the program. Tuition and fees for 2 credits will be paid by the academy. Participants have the option to enroll for a 3rd credit, which is not paid by the academy (cost to participants is $600 to $1,000). 

On-campus room and board for the on-site workshop component of the program will be paid by the academy. Participants who prefer to make their own housing arrangements will receive an allowance of up to $600 for food and lodging during the on-campus component of the program.
