etc.) of Arabic SLA include but not limited to:
•       Formal (generative, functional, typological)
•       Cognitive (processability, attention, noticing and awareness)
•       Input-based (input processing; input, interaction and output)
•       Frequency and usage-based
•       Corpus-based
•       L1 transfer
•       L2 transfer

III. Topics which deal with applied research related to Arabic as an
L1, including:
