The infusion of modern methodologies in the Arabic and Chinese programs will promote time on task among students and motivate them to persist in their language study. In order to keep learners engaged, teachers must include the most effective, standards-based activities, emphasizing  all modes of communication and culture.  Arabic and Chinese teachers in each language will create a collection of activities to expand the curriculum presently in place. The networking that will result from the course will enrich instruction and save teachers the task of “reinventing the wheel” by creating materials in isolation.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/4960597556633735429-8779072714709647688?l=startalkarabic.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://startalkarabic.blogspot.com/feeds/8779072714709647688/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=4960597556633735429&amp;postID=8779072714709647688' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/4960597556633735429/posts/default/8779072714709647688'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/4960597556633735429/posts/default/8779072714709647688'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://startalkarabic.blogspot.com/2008/07/startalk-arabic-2008.html' title='Startalk Arabic 2009'/><author><name>Mohamed Esa</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/02145469492135119497</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='23' height='32' src='http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_6rk6lGkHBb8/SsPnmOkTgiI/AAAAAAAAATU/1L4y5abA1pg/S220/momoinvenice.jpeg'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://bp2.blogger.com/_6rk6lGkHBb8/SGp1hgcAutI/AAAAAAAAABM/9-qY4efyO90/s72-c/Startalklogo2.jpg' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4960597556633735429.post-2348777111027084201</id><published>2009-06-16T17:17:00.000-07:00</published><updated>2009-06-21T19:50:20.340-07:00</updated><title type='text'>Ahlan wa Sahlan - اهلاوسهلا</title><content type='html'>&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://bp3.blogger.com/_6rk6lGkHBb8/SGrYCtThfKI/AAAAAAAAACA/mKZd-SFi9yY/s1600-h/arabic_proverb.gif"&gt;&lt;img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer;" src="http://bp3.blogger.com/_6rk6lGkHBb8/SGrYCtThfKI/AAAAAAAAACA/mKZd-SFi9yY/s400/arabic_proverb.gif" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5218220659294960802" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:100%;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:verdana;"&gt;For the Arabic teachers, I am planning on adding new things for those who took the workshop last year, work with them closely on continuing to develop what they have learned last year, but above all, working with all of you, one on one, to meet your own needs. After you sign up fro the workshop, I'll be e-mailing you a questionaire, which will help me determine your immediate needs and this way I can design my part of the workshop accordingly.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:verdana;"&gt;Here are some of the things I have so far in mind.

The best workshops are those, in which the participants create their own materials with the guidance of a facilitator. I don't want you to copy what I do.
