knowledge about normal Arabic first language acquisition

material will be used by linguistic researchers for a
fuller understanding of language acquisition as a human
cognitive capacity, enabling them to answer several
critical questions which till now have been unanswerable
due to lack of data. The new online material will also
provide speech-language pathologists working with
Arabic-speaking children with crucial resources that till
now are lacking, to improve the quality of life of the
children they work with and their families.
Required qualifications include a PhD in First Language
Acquisition, Speech-Language Pathology, or Psychology;
IT proficiency; experience with Statistics; experience on
a research team; experience in research project
management; native competency in oral and written
Arabic; and near-native competency in oral and written
