International Business and Language Institute
June 9-10, 2016
University of Texas at Austin
Globalization and global commerce have had profound impacts on educational needs both in business and in language instruction. For the first time, the Centers for International Business Education and Research at Michigan State University and The University of Texas at Austin Center for Global Business are offering an International Business and Language Institute for community college faculty. The Institute will provide opportunities for business and foreign language instructors to jointly consider trends in international education, such as the impact of globalization on community colleges and cultural analysis in study abroad. In addition, the Institute will include sessions designed to address the more specific needs of business instructors and language instructors separately. Participants will gain insights into how to incorporate new content and techniques into their classes, practical advice on materials available, and be able to network with faculty from across the region.

Title: Arabic Workshop: Intertextuality Interpretation as Collaborative Activity

Arabic Workshop: Intertextuality interpretation as Collaborative Activity
June 20, 2016
Middle East Center, University of Pennsylvania
Current reading devices allow multiple readers to read the same text together, annotate the text, and share their annotations. The resulting practice is referred to as social reading. This new literacy practice violates many readers expectations of what it means to read based on a shared print culture (Baron, 2013). This presentation frames social reading in terms of a new participatory culture (Jenkins, 2009) in which interpretive practices long associated with the individual become a collaborative, group activity. The impact of social reading has stirred much academic controversy.
In this workshop, Arabic instructors will discuss how to expand the vocabulary of new learners and build a thread of reading based on natural visual interpretation. Students can produce intensively Arabic threads in a minimal time to practice the language. The workshop will show different models of using meta-reading at a variety of levels: Elementary and Intermediate; Some digital examples will be shared as well.
