Penn State STARTALK Arabic Academy for Teachers
On-site component: June 23-30, 2012, Penn State University Park campus

The Penn State STARTALK Arabic Academy for Teachers is a federally
funded professional development program for teachers of Arabic in
middle school, high school, and college and university environments.

STARTALK is also suited for:

teachers of other subjects who are preparing to offer Arabic classes
graduate students planning careers that will include teaching Arabic
experienced teachers of Arabic who want to expand their awareness of
current teaching methods
This blended learning program consists of:

an online preparation component (starting May 23)
an eight-day, on-site component at University Park campus (June 23-30)
an online follow-up component (ending July 20)
The academy provides participants with information about, and practice
in, innovative teaching methodologies for Modern Standard Arabic. A
main focus is to help teachers remain in the target language and use
little or no English in their Arabic classroom.

For a description of the curriculum and the application process, visit
www.programs.psu.edu/startalk.

After completing the program, participants can earn 2 to 3 college
credits. Tuition and fees for 2 credits will be paid by the academy.
Participants have the option to earn a third credit, which will not be
paid by the academy.

On-campus room and board for the on-site workshop component of the
program will be paid by the academy. Participants who prefer to make
their own housing arrangements will receive an allowance for food and
lodging during the on-campus component of the program.
