| Title | Online Training for Teachers of Middle Eastern Languages |
| Body | The National Middle East Language Resource Center (NMELRC) announces a series of on-line workshops on various aspects of language pedagogy for teachers of Arabic, Hebrew, Persian, and Turkish. All involved in the teaching of Middle East languages are invited to tune in and participate in these workshops. The presentations will be offered once a month and will allow language faculty in our four languages to listen to the presentations, post questions, and get answers via the web. Each presentation will last between 90 and 100 minutes and will feature a brief theoretical background to the issue(s) discussed as well as sample materials and classroom techniques. The first online session will be presented on Friday January 28th at 3 p.m. Eastern Standard Time. The title of this presentation will be "Building Reading Fluency in Middle Eastern Languages." In this session, Kristen Brustad will talk about defining and setting goals for reading comprehension, interactive reading skills, the role of grammar in reading, and the use of authentic texts. She will present examples of reading texts and activities in both English and Arabic.
