Teaching Vocabulary Online Workshop

The National Middle East Language Resource Center (NMELRC) announces a  
series of free on-line workshops on various aspects of language  
pedagogy for teachers of Arabic, Hebrew, Persian, and Turkish. All  
involved in the teaching of Middle East languages from elementary to  
graduate level are invited to tune in and participate in these  
workshops.
 
Dr. Salah-Dine Hammoud will lecture from the US Air Force Academy on  
vocabulary instruction at 3:00PM EST today (Monday, February 28). At  
that time a link will appear on our web-site www.nmelrc.org. to access  
the video and slides.

Notes:
	1.  	If you plan on watching the presentation on an Apple Macintosh  
computer, you will need to download Windows Media Player 9 for Mac. You  
can get it here  
(http://www.microsoft.com/windows/windowsmedia/software/Macintosh/osx/ 
default.aspx).

	2.  	For Safari and FireFox users: When the presentation loads, you  
will receive a notice that the page is only viewable in Internet  
Explorer or Netscape. (You may receive this message more than once.)  
The presentation should, in fact, work properly in your browser, so,  
click the "Cancel" button.
Web-Broadcasts presentations will be offered once a month and will  
allow language faculty in our four languages to listen to the  
presentations, post questions, and get answers via the web. Each  
presentation will last between 90 and 100 minutes and will feature a  
brief theoretical background to the issue(s) discussed as well as  
sample materials and classroom techniques. We will archive these events  
after their broadcast date and post them on the Online Pedagogical  
Workshop Archive page found under the Main Menu.
