Subject:1-Week intensive Course on Teaching Arabic to non-natives

Dear Colleagues

The Centre for the Advanced Study of the Arab World (CASAW), a joint  
initiative between the universities of Edinburgh, Durham and  
Manchester, will be running a 1-week intensive CPD course in teaching  
Arabic to to non-native speakers using a communicative approach.

Date: 3- 7th August 2009

Cost: £275 (This is simply to cover workshop costs, we are not looking  
to make any profit. The cost includes tea/coffee and a modest lunch.)

Location: British Council, 10 Spring Gardens, London, SW1A 2BN

Type of event: workshop

Aims of the Course:
The broad aim of the course is to raise the standard of the teaching  
of Arabic in UK academic institutions and schools. The CASAW Teaching  
Arabic course is designed to help participants design and deliver  
Arabic classes in a dynamic and communicative manner which ensures a  
high level of student motivation and rapid academic progress in all  
four language skill-areas: speaking, listening, reading and writing.

Course Content:
The course shows clearly that the latest thinking in the teaching of  
English as a foreign language (EFL) can be applied to Arabic with  
relative ease. Participants will be given the opportunity to teach  
real 'live' Arabic classes and given constructive feedback by tutors  
and peers.

and interested in transferring their skills to teaching Arabic.
