WASHINGTON D.C. — Georgetown University Press is delighted to 
assume the publication of Al-cArabiyya, the annual, peer-reviewed 
journal of the American Association of Teachers of Arabic (AATA). 
Volumes 44 and 45 (2011-2012), a joint issue edited by Dr. Reem 
Bassiouney of Georgetown University, will be the first issue, and it will 
be available in December 2012. Al-cArabiyya is the only scholarly 
journal with a focus on Arabic language, linguistics, literature, and 
pedagogy.

''We are thrilled to work with the AATA to produce the leading journal 
for teaching Arabic language,'' says Hope LeGro, Director of 
Georgetown Languages at GU Press. ''GU Press is committed to 
serving the field of Arabic language learning, as we have been for 
nearly fifty years. This journal partnership is a natural evolution of our 
shared mission with AATA.'' The press publishes the Al-Kitaab Arabic 
Language Program, as well as Arabic dictionaries and other Arabic 
textbooks.

This year, the AATA celebrates fifty years of serving the scholars of 
Arabic around the world. Dr. Elizabeth M. Bergman, Executive Director 
of AATA, praises the new relationship saying, ''The AATA has 
demonstrated its commitment to scholarship on Arabic language, 
literature, and pedagogy through publication of Al-cArabiyya and 
through other activities for nearly fifty years. Our partnership with 
Georgetown University Press is a fitting commemoration of these years 
of service. It is also a wonderful way to more forward, and serve the 
growing number of those who study and teach Arabic language and 
literature.''

Georgetown Languages at Georgetown University Press is a 
collaboration of language experts and publishing professionals to 
produce high quality language learning resource materials in traditional 
and new learning media. Working with the academic community to 
develop foreign language learning materials grounded in superior 
scholarship and experienced pedagogy, we publish in critical as well as 
commonly taught languages in print and electronic formats, primarily for 
college, high school, and adult learners.

Georgetown University Press supports the academic mission of 
Georgetown University by publishing scholarly books and journals for a 
diverse, worldwide readership. These publications, written by an 
international group of authors representing a broad range of 
intellectual perspectives, focus on five subjects: bioethics; international 
affairs; languages; political science, public policy, & public 
management; and religion & ethics.
