Subject:AATA Call for Papers, 50th Anniversary

The American Association of Teachers of Arabic (AATA) invites members and
other professionals in the field of teaching Arabic to submit proposals to
celebrate AATA's 50th anniversary.   The panel will take place in
conjunction with the Annual Meeting of the Middle East Studies Association
(MESA) on 17 November 2012 in Denver.

The theme of the panel is "AATA's 50th Anniversary:  The State of the
Art."  Presentations will reflect critically and broadly on current
research and practices in the field as a whole.

Possible topics include but need not be confined to some specific aspect of
the following:

Teaching and assessing Arabic language (MSA, spoken Arabic, and specific
modalities)
Teaching and assessing Arabic literature (classical and modern literary
texts and texts in other formats)
Teaching and assessing Arabic cultural literacy
Acquisition of Arabic as a second, foreign, or heritage language

Please send your proposal to Rajaa Aquil <rajaa.aquil at modlangs.gatech.edu>
by April 1.  Your proposal should include a description of your findings in
250 words or less. Notification of acceptance will be sent by April 15.
