Full Session Description (one paragraph minimum):
Critical Language Service brings interactive, organized Arabic courses to schools, homeschool groups, and independent learning groups via the Internet. Students, in any one location, are connected to qualified teachers by one of two kinds of videoconference technology: telepresence and Skype. These courses function exactly like a traditional classroom, with one teacher teaching one class at a time, and therefore allow for engaging, real-time interactions between an onscreen Arabic language expert and Arabic language students. Because our instructors live and work in the Middle East, they are immersed in the culture of the language they teach; they bring in-depth knowledge and a unique perspective into the classroom. This allows students to discover and understand colloquialisms and cultural customs in a way that is usually only possible during study-abroad programs. Now, they have access to a whole new world—from the comfort of their own classroom.
