With Kassem Wahba, Zeinab Taha, and Giuliano Lancioni, I am organizing the two-day International Conference/Variation in the Teaching of Arabic: Grammar and Lexicon/at IULM University in Milan (Italy) on 15 and 16 March 2023.
The conference will focus on diachronic variation in the teaching of Arabic as a foreign or second language, as well as on variation in contemporary Arabic (MSA and spoken dialects) and how the latter is best addressed in the teaching of Arabic. The conference will feature discussions on the role of grammar in teaching contemporary Arabic and on the role of corpus linguistics in deriving the lexicon of contemporary Arabic. The findings and implications of these discussions will be focused on teaching Arabic as a foreign or second language.
We therefore invite papers in all of the aforementioned fields.
Please send the title and abstract (max 150 words) of your proposed contribution tomanuela.giolfo@iulm.it <mailto:manuela.giolfo@iulm.it>
by 15 January 2023.
