Dear Language instructors
 
We hope to see many of you at this year's Western Consortium workshop, as presenters or participants.
We are delighted that the workshop facilitator this year is Dr. John Eisele whom you all know.  I'm sure some of you have already seen the call for abstracts, but in case you have not, the invitation appears below.
 
 
Call for Abstracts
“Language Beyond the Classroom:
Developing & Maintaining Advanced Proficiency”
University of Arizona
Tucson, AZ
April 16-18, 2010
 
The 2010 Western Consortium Middle East Language Workshop is a 2-day event hosted
this year by the University of Arizona’s Center for Middle Eastern Studies (CMES). The
2010 Workshop will explore "bridging activities" that link formal classroom learning to
non-formal, student-centered learning especially for developing and maintaining
advanced proficiency in Arabic, Hebrew, Persian, and Turkish. These activities could
include use of films or broadcast media, technology, games, or study abroad.
The workshop facilitator is Dr. John Eisele, Associate Professor of Arabic in the
Department of Modern Languages and Literatures at the College of William and Mary.
Using the case of Arabic diglossia, Dr. Eisele will conduct a two-hour interactive session
on the pedagogy of teaching formal (textbook) vs. informal (street) language.
The workshop program will include hands-on/interactive sessions, panels, and individual
talks. CMES invites abstracts from language instructors for these sessions.
Abstracts should not exceed 300 words and must be accompanied by the registration
form (available for download on the workshop website).
The deadline for submissions is March 8, 2010. Notification of acceptance or rejection
will be sent by March 17, 2010.
We look forward to seeing you in Tucson!
