In this insightful volume, Dalal Abo El Seoud brings together up-to-date practice-based research and conceptual contributions by eighteen professionals in the field. These address a wide range of challenges in teaching Arabic as a foreign language and ways of overcoming them with a clear eye to twenty-first-century language-learning skills, which advocate communication, collaboration, critical thinking, and creativity. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eThe chapters address curriculum design, teaching Arabic to non-English speakers, trends in the use of technology, motivating students, teaching Arabic language varieties, and teaching language skills. This volume will be an invaluable resource for teachers and teachers in training of TAFL and for scholars and researchers in the field. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cb\u003eContributors: \u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eDalal Abo El Seoud\u003c\/b\u003e, The American University in Cairo, Cairo, Egypt\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eHagar Lotfy Amer\u003c\/b\u003e, The American University in Cairo, Cairo, Egypt\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWael M.
