    Arabic Heritage learners need focus in order to develop curriculum  
that
pertains to them,  I have already given a paper about "Novice teaching
methodology for Arabic Heritage Learners"  (AHL)and I have drawn a line
between AFL learners and AHL . I have     not  learned of them  at K-12
level.      An Egyptian Colloquial Arabic textbook  called "Ana Min Il  
Balad
Di" (2003) was written to target AHL, you may find on Arabic -List URL
website,  The book speaks of 3adat w taqaliid il Masreya.
I share the  interest in programs working on developing such classes.

Dear Hana,

I taught heritage language courses for high school students at  
Occidental College as part of my MA thesis then I taught the same  
course at CSULB.  Unfortunately, the course was cut since we had a  
major budget cut in CSU.
