Arabic Without Walls

Arabic Without Walls is an innovative, award-winning project developed with the National Middle East Language Resource Center and the University of California Consortium for Language Teaching and Learning that uses electronic activities to assist in the teaching and learning of introductory Arabic. It is used in Arabic courses at universities in California, at BYU, at BYU’s StarTalk summer language camp program as well as at various high schools around Utah County.

This already-successful program is currently being re-designed for better maintenance, distribution, and delivery of learning resources, making it easier to track learner performance and improve program efficacy.

Developing better ways of acquiring learner performance data is instrumental in helping teachers tailor instruction to students’ needs as well as in designing more effective materials in the future.
In its final stages, the ARCLITE team hopes to create a valuable resource for Arabic instruction and learning at BYU and elsewhere. In addition to the immediate benefits of streaming the content online, the team will use the new technology to create software that will provide students with real-world language content coupled with optional translations, transcriptions, vocabulary resources, and grammar examples, all at the click of a button.
