<div>The benefits of learning Arabic are bountiful for your students, even though resources for teaching this rich language can be challenging to navigate! Learn about and consider implementing an award-winning hybrid online course for high school students developed by the National Middle East Language Resource Center (NMELRC) at Brigham Young University in cooperation with Qatar Foundation International (QFI). Kirk Belnap and Maggie Nassif of NMELRC will walk participants through the elements of the course. Carine Allaf of the Arabic Language and Culture Initiative at QFI will introduce additional programs and opportunities for K-12 teachers and students of Arabic. Finally, a discussion of the challenges and successes of teaching Arabic in American schools will be led by former Fordson High School Principal Imad Fadlallah and Angela Jackson, Founder and Executive Director, Global Language Project.</div>
<div>Please Note: Participants are strongly encouraged to attend a free public screening of Fordson: Faith, Fasting, Football with director Rashid Ghazi and Imad Fadlallah on Friday, Feb 1 @ 6:30pm at New York University's Cantor Center (36 E. 8th Street, New York, NY).
