Our first brown bag lunch* of the Spring semester will be on February 18 from 12:15 to 1:15 pm in SZB 536L (George Sanchez Building).
Dr. Mahmoud Al-Batal will give a talk entitled "Instructional Materials & Curricular Change: Examples from Arabic." This is an excellent opportunity especially for those of us interested in language pedagogy and curriculum development. Dr. Al-Batal co-authored and developed one of the leading Arabic language curriculum series,
Al-Kitaab, created a very widely used content-based Arabic learning website,
Aswaat Arabiyya, and won the 2013 Texas Foreign Language Teaching Excellence Award given by the
Texas Language Center. He is also currently the director of
The Arabic Flagship Program at UT Austin, an innovative program with the goal of developing undergraduates who attain superior levels of Arabic fluency, and teaches courses in Arabic literacy, materials development, and curricular design.
