Meeting Description:

AATA panel, Teaching Arabic Literature in Translation:: Approaches and
Objectives - MESA Conference, October 28, 2021. 

While the teaching of language remains the primary goal of many programs of
world languages, instructors are increasingly offering courses of literature
in English translation to enable students to develop literary and cultural
competencies and to promote cross-cultural understanding. In most Arabic and
Middle Eastern Studies programs, Arabic Literature in English Translation
courses vary in their focus and purpose.

The MESA annual meeting features panels and special sessions on a variety of
topics related to Middle East studies. It is complemented by meetings of
MESA's affiliated groups, an exciting 4-day film festival, a comprehensive
book exhibit featuring the latest books and software in the field, and other
informal events.


Call for Papers: 

In this AATA panel, we invite researchers and pedagogues to reflect on the
approaches they use in teaching Arabic Literature in English Translation and
the objectives associated with these courses. This panel aims to address the
following questions:

 - What criteria dictate the selection of the texts in terms of their genres,
content, and historical periods?
 - What factors determine the learning outcomes, learning activities, and
assessment methods associated with these courses?
 - What strategies instructors use in order to manage mediation and transfer
in texts originally written in Arabic?
 - How do instructors address intercultural competence issues?

We invite presenters interested in presenting on any of these or similar
issues relevant to this panel topic to send a 300-word abstract and a short
bio by March 22, 2021 to aatapanels at gmail.com. While presentations can be in
Arabic or English, we encourage presentations in Arabic. Notification of
abstract acceptance by April 1, 2021.
