Workshop Materials:
You can watch a recording of the online workshop (approximately three hours, opens in new window)
We have used two files in the workshop itself: the PowerPoint file and the shared document participants used for group discussion.
These two files have been sent before the workshop to help participants understand the linguistic and cultural profile of Arabic HLLs and be able to place them in a level-appropriate course.
These are four sample projects that have been used in Leiden University. The first two are for lower-intermediate classes, and the last are for intermediate-level course. They can also be used in a mixed-lever course with HLLs and non-HLLs.
For questions or comments on the workshop, please contact Dr. Hossam Ahmed, Leiden University.
Support for the workshop has been provided by the Leiden Language Learning Resource Center , and funded by NRO Comenius Teaching Fellowship grant # 405.20865.193
