Subject:More info on National Arabic Language Conference
A National Arabic Language Conference will be held on June 13-15,  
2008, at DePaul University in Chicago, Illinois. The conference will  
address topics related to teaching Arabic language and culture at  
schools, colleges, universities, language academies and government  
institutes in the United States. Professionals from various  
disciplines of teaching Arabic language and culture are welcome to  
participate. The primary conference language will be Arabic.

In addition to various presentations and workshops, time will be

will serve as a sister organization of the American Association of  
Teachers of Arabic (AATA).
