Subject:Arabic Heritage Learners query

Dear Colleagues,

I would like to learn more about the topic of Arabic
heritage learners in the classroom.  Specifically, I would
like to know if a program you are associated with (or one
you know well) offers an Arabic language class predominantly
for Arabic heritage students, alongside other non-heritage
(regular) Arabic classes.  What are your impressions of the
advantages and disadvantages of offering such a class?
Please reply to me off-list, and I will summarize the
responses.  Thank you for your help!
