Dear Colleague:

On behalf of the 50th Anniversary Program Committee of the American
Association of Teachers of Arabic, I would like to extend the
following invitation to you:

The American Association of Teachers of Arabic (AATA) invites members
and other professionals in the field of Arabic language teaching,
linguistics and literature to submit proposals for poster
presentations as part of the celebration of AATA's 50th anniversary,
which will take place in conjunction with the Annual Meeting of the
Middle East Studies Association (MESA) on 17 November 2012 in Denver.
For more details, see:
http://www.mesa.arizona.edu/annual-meeting/meetings.html
Presentations should 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 (MSA, Spoken Arabic, or mixed varieties)
Teaching and assessing Arabic literature (broadly defined)
Teaching and assessing Arabic cultural literacy
Acquisition of Arabic as a second, foreign, or heritage language

Please send your proposal to Kirk Belnap <belnap at byu.edu> by October
5.  Your proposal should include a description of your findings in 250
words or less. Notification of acceptance will be sent by October 10.

With best wishes,
Elizabeth M. Bergman, Ph.D.
