Dear Teachers of Arabic:

I am writing to invite you to a unique opportunity for teachers of
Arabic at the Northeast Conference on the Teaching of Foreign
Languages in New York City, March 31-April 2nd. This year the National
Capital Language Resource Center (NCLRC) is sponsoring Arabic teachers
to attend a workshop called Teaching Arab Culture in the Arabic
Foreign Language Classroom on Thursday, March 31st, from 9:00 a.m.
until 4:30 p.m., which will be led by Zeina Seikaly of Georgetown
University and Dr. Mohammad Eissa, of the NCLRC and Eissa &
Associates.

The NCLRC will sponsor the cost of the workshop, but you will be
responsible for the cost of registering for the conference at the
hotel ($140). 

In this interactive workshop, these two experienced educators will
share and demonstrate successful strategies they have used in their
classrooms and training to integrate culture and Arabic language.
Sample materials will be distributed. We encourage you to come and
learn as well as share your own expertise with other teachers and
administrators.

Other presentations at the conference of interest to Arabic teachers
and administrators include:

  -Learning Standards for Arabic by Dr. Mahdi Alosh and Mrs. Iman
Arabi-Katbi Hashem

-Challenges and Learning Strategies of Students of Arabic and
Japanese by Dr. Catharine Keatley

-Arabic Curriculum on a Continuum between Classical and Dialect
by Rajaa Chouairi

-Total Immersion Curriculum for the Advanced Levels of Arabic
by Foazi El Barouki

There are also many more presentations that are applicable to the
teaching of Arabic. For a complete schedule, see the NECTFL website:
