Subject:Arabic Heritage Learners, new Society
Dear Colleagues,
Due to the growing of the heritage Language field .Many issues arise
on giving my paper on :"pedagogies for Arabic Heritage Learners
"2009 . I really was wondering if my colleagues share with me the view
that AHL differ from AFL . Therefore new curriculum is to be
designed, Arabic corpus is in need .I suggested also teacher oriented
versus student centered pedagogy. The focus here is on Heritage
Learners of Arabic those who come from different background that AFL
students..Placement test, assessment, validity of results. Most
important accredited or not ,and does it fit into the K-12 education
system?
Societies and Groups exist for different languages but none is
targeted towards housing AHL our Arabic Heritage Learners. Hence , I
thought of AHL Society. Why not share ideas to reach a consensus on
how to plan language how to house AHL need in a structured form
&content. Thank you .
NB: In my paper I suggested AHL short for Arabic Heritage Learners -
also happens to be 3 grandchildren of mine
