Meeting Description:

The Center for Middle East Studies (CMES) at the University of Arizona is glad
to inform you that the Consortium of Middle East National Resource Centers’
Virtual Language Workshop, will take place online, on April 8-10, 2021. The
title of this year’s workshop is Transformative Paradigms in the Middle East
Language Classroom: Learning, Pedagogy, and Curriculum Development. The 2016
Western Consortium Middle East Language Workshop saw the importance of
preparing language learners to operate in an environment enriched with digital
technologies. The 2021 Middle East National Resources Centers Virtual Language
Workshop seeks to build on this knowledge and examine the transformative
paradigms emerging as we move more and more into the online realm.
Transformative pathways in pedagogy go beyond instrumental innovations to
address social issues and multilingualism in the classroom. During the first
two days, guest speakers and presenters will present research advances and
classroom practices in their contexts. 

Proposals are invited for presentations describing research and descriptive
reports on the Middle East language learning and pedagogy. We welcome
presentations that relate to the following: approaches to curriculum
development including genre; heritage-language learners; multi-literacies;
language skills and instructional strategies; intercultural communicative
competence; teacher education and professional development; and testing and
assessment.

Guest Speakers:
 - Dr. Yass Alizadeh (Lecturer of Persian, New York University)
 - Dr. Emma Trentman (Associate Professor of Arabic, University of New Mexico)
