will take place in Dearborn, MI Saturday June 21.
Presentations and mini workshops will be focusing on research based best
practices teaching Arabic in the USA and the World. We surveyed a

the survey concluded these topics:

and heritage Vs. Arabic language learners.
2.      Effective learner-centered teaching strategies
3.      Teaching grammar and maintaining Arabic language
4.      Developing curriculum and thematic-units
5.      Integrating technology and Arabic instruction
6.      Literature and Arabic instruction
7.      Performance-based assessment methods
Your presentation proposal should be related to any of the above topics.
Research-based proposals leading to effective practices are preferable.
Bilingual Arabic/English presenters are mostly encouraged.  Your proposal
should be 250 words or less including the main topic and describing briefly
your presentation style.
Please email your proposal to Dr. Wafa Hassan wafa.hassan at wmich.edu  by April
