Good Afternoon-

Cornell University will be holding an Arabic Teachers Workshop , August 15
& 16, 2014 in Ithaca, NY.

The workshop will be open to about 20 Arabic teachers and program directors
who are interested in learning about the Integrated Approach and its actual
implementation in the Arabic classroom.

The two-day workshop will be led by Jonathan Featherstone, Senior Teaching
Fellow at the University of Edinburgh; Maher Awad, Senior Lecturer of
Arabic and Certified ACTFL & ILR Tester at Rice University; and Munther
Younes, Reis Senior Lecturer in Arabic Language and Linguistics and
Director of the Arabic Program at Cornell University.

Munther Younes will focus on the rationale behind the "Integrated Approach"
and the problems and challenges raised against it. He will also demonstrate
the use of materials from the three-volume, fully-integrated textbook
series 'Arabiyyat al-Naas, which he coauthored and which is due to be
published by Routledge in the fall of 2013 and the spring of 2014.

Jonathan Featherstone will deliver training sessions focusing on applying
the Integrated Approach to communicative reading and speaking activities
and will help teachers design their own language drills.

Maher Awad will focus on issues of assessment, especially proficiency
assessment, and discuss similarities and differences between the assessment
tools employed in the Integrated vs. the non-integrated approaches, with
special reference to the ACTFL proficiency guidelines.
