Dear Colleague:

The American Association of Teachers of Arabic (AATA) calls for papers for
presentation at the Association's Panel in conjunction with the Middle East
Studies Association (MESA) Annual Meeting in New Orleans, 10 October 2013.  The
theme of this year’s panel is “Content Based Instruction in the Arabic
Language Classroom.” Papers are invited on topics that deal with
theoretical or application issues of content-based instruction (teaching a
given subject matter in the target language).  These would include any of
the following: conceptual design, feasibility, timing, student and program
needs, modes of delivery (print, electronic, video, blended, etc.), methods
of implementation (classroom vs. outside of classroom lessons , peer
evaluation, flip or reverse teaching, and the like), etc. ****

Persons interested in presenting papers on any of these or related issues
are requested to submit an abstract not to exceed 300-400 words. Twenty
minutes will be allowed for each presentation followed by ten minutes for
questions and answers. ****

Please send abstracts in electronic form (attached to an email addressed to
admin at aataweb.org). The deadline for receipt of abstracts is 13 September
2013.

We look forward to receiving your submission,

****
