ONLINE ARABIC INSTRUCTION
Sat, Feb 2, 10am-2pm
Saturday Seminars for Teachers at the Hagop Kevorkian Center for Near
Eastern Studies at NYU (255 Sullivan Street, New York, NY)
The benefits of learning Arabic are bountiful for your students, even
though resources for teaching this rich language can be challenging to
navigate!  Learn about and consider implementing an award-winning hybrid
online course for high school students developed by the National Middle
East Language Resource Center (NMELRC) at Brigham Young University in
cooperation with Qatar Foundation International (QFI). Kirk Belnap and
Maggie Nassif of NMELRC will walk participants through the elements of the
course.  Carine Allaf of the Arabic Language and Culture Initiative at QFI
will introduce additional programs and opportunities for K-12 teachers and
students of Arabic.  Finally, a discussion of the challenges and successes
of teaching Arabic in American schools will be led by former Fordson High
School Principal Imad Fadlallah and Angela Jackson, Founder and Executive
Director, Global Language Project.
Please Note:  Participants are strongly encouraged to attend a free public
screening of Fordson: Faith, Fasting, Football with director Rashid Ghazi
and Imad Fadlallah on Friday, Feb 1 @ 6:30pm at New York University's
Cantor Center (36 E. 8th Street, New York, NY). See attached flyer and
