A Hands-On Workshop Conducted in Arabic by Mahmoud Al-Batal,  
University of Texas & Martha Schulte-Nafeh, University of Arizona.
The workshop is designed for teachers of college students. Teachers  
of upper level high school students are welcome; however, the methods  
assume high levels of learner autonomy and engagement. Through  
demonstrations, video, discussion, and interactive activities,  
participants will experience the methods of learner-centered,  
proficiency-based instruction. The presenters will demonstrate best  
practices by micro-teaching with small groups of university students,  
and participants will practice learner-centered instruction with  
coaching and feedback from the presenters.

proficiency guidelines and the National Standards for Arabic.  
Participants will be guided in preparing student-centered, standards- 
based instruction for their classrooms.
