National Arabic Language Conference
June 13-15 DePaul University, Chicago Illinois
February 26, 2008

Dear Colleagues,

DePaul University plans to hold a National Arabic Language Conference  
on June 13-15, 2008 at its
Lincoln Park Campus in Chicago.  We would like to invite you and other  
individuals involved in teaching
and/or administering the Arabic program at your institution to attend  
the conference and consider
presenting. The main language of the conference will be Arabic language

The purpose of the conference is to bring together professionals  
working in the field of teaching Arabic
language and culture in the United States including individuals  
working at K-12 public schools, private
and charter schools, community organizations, community colleges,  
universities, and government
agencies. The conference will focus on sharing lessons learned by all  
of these institutions, discussing the
needs of the field, and exploring the possibility of creating a  
national organization that supports teaching
Arabic language and culture focusing on supporting efforts at local  
and regional levels.  This organization
will serve as a sister organization of the American Association of  
Teachers of Arabic (AATA).
Attached is a conference flyer and registration form.  We also  
attached an invitation letter and proposal
form in Arabic.  Please share these documents with individuals and  
agencies in your database that you
think might be interested in participating in this event.

We look forward to your participation.  Please visit our website at www.depaul.edu/~mol/anc
