Arabic Teaching Training Seminar

        The National Middle East Language Resource Center NMELRC  
announces its third Arabic Teacher Training Seminar, to be held August  
15-20, 2005, inclusive, in cooperation with Emory University in  
Atlanta,  Georgia..   The seminar will be led by Professors Kristen  
Brustad and Mahmoud Al-Batal of Emory University.
   
  The seminar is particularly oriented towards:

  §   Arabic language professionals desiring a skills update,

  §   Advanced TAs who are preparing for a career that involves teaching  
Arabic,

  §   Instructors whose primary training was in literature, religion,  
culture or other non-linguistic areas but are interested in training  
for language teaching .

  The seminar will address a variety of areas related to teaching,  
including:

  Course syllabus  
design                                                      Teaching  
reading

  Teaching  
listening                                                                
Teaching vocabulary

  Utilizing group work in  
class                                               Testing

  The seminar will allow participants the chance to work on their own  
class syllabi in preparation for teaching in the fall semester 2005.   
In addition, we hope to offer participants the chance to do micro  
teaching and apply the principles learned in the seminar. 

The seminar will be conducted in Arabic.

Seminar fees will be fully covered by NMELRC and Emory University.   
Participants will be responsible for their transportation to and from  
Atlanta, as well as lodging and board for the week.  NMELRC has limited  
funds to assist some applicants with part of their transportation and  
lodging expenses.
