From Alif to Yaa, come explore the 28 letters of the Arabic alphabet in shape and sound! We will introduce the rules for how to connect and pronounce the letters of the alphabet, exploring classical calligraphy as well as contemporary art forms that grow from the foundation of this writing system that is the second-most widely used in the world (after the Latin alphabet).

Where is the “Arab world”? What defines it? This workshop, led by staff from Al-Waha, the Arabic Language program at Concordia Language Villages, will give a basic overview of what we mean when we talk about the Arab world - its geography, history, and culture - and recommend resources for further learning and exploration. This workshop will be led by Lucy Lulua Thiboutot, dean of Al-Waha, Concordia's Arabic Language Village. Lulua has an M.A. in Arab Studies from Georgetown University. She taught pre-K at the American Community School in Beirut, Lebanon for two years and attended the CASA program in Damascus, Syria, studying Arabic intensively. In the United States, she has taught Arabic in New England private schools, public schools in rural Pennsylvania and in STARTALK high school summer programs in Boston. Since 2013, she has edited the Arabic Educator Bulletin, now a monthly newsletter distributed to more than 2,000 people across the U.S. and world that focuses on the teaching of Arabic at the K-12 level. She has been a leading member of the Board of the New England Arabic Teachers Council since 2019.
