Subject:NMELRC On-line Workshops

The National Middle East Language Resource Center (NMELRC) announces  a  
series of 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 are invited to tune  in and  
participate in these workshops.

The  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.

  The first online session will be presented on Friday January 28th at 3  
p.m.  Eastern Standard Time. The title of this presentation will be  
“Building Reading Fluency in Middle Eastern Languages.” In this  
session, Kristen  Brustad will talk about defining and setting goals  
for reading comprehension,  interactive reading skills, the role of  
grammar in reading, and the use of  authentic texts. She will present  
examples of reading texts and activities in  both English and Arabic.

  Those interested in attending this online workshop need the latest  
free  version of RealPlayer installed on a computer that meets the  
minimum requirements to run RealPlayer.   See http://www.real.com  to  
download the free player.  Before the webcast, the link which will   
allow you to view the video will be posted on nmelrc.org.
