Theme: Language and Culture—The Right Level, The Right Mix
The Foreign Language Program Office (FLPO) of the Office of the Director of National Intelligence (ODNI), the National Cryptologic School (NCS), and the Department of Foreign Languages of the University of Maryland are pleased to announce that the Middle Eastern/AFPAK LEARN Workshop will be held from 10-13 September, 2012 at the University of Maryland, College Park,MD. The primary intent of the LEARN workshops is to provide language instructors working for the U.S. Government an opportunity to share their teaching expertise. In recent years similar workshops have been held in Chinese, Arabic, Russian, Persian Farsi, Spanish, Korean, Hindi-Urdu, and in AF/PAK languages. These workshops are an excellent venue for participants to exchange ideas on instructional methodology, technology, and resources in language and Area Studies teaching, as well as an opportunity to network with colleagues from other federal government organizations, the military, and academia.
The Middle East/AFPAK LEARN Workshop is open to all Middle Eastern and AFPAK language instructors and course developers from any U.S. Government-affiliated institution.
