Case Method and the Arabic Teacher: A Practical Guide compiles original case studies that address the unique challenges of teaching Arabic at the high school level. The book's engaging and accessible classroom scenarios reflect the experiences of a diverse group of Arabic teachers working in a variety of educational settings ranging from elite private schools to large public schools with low income student populations. In the case studies, teachers offer compelling accounts of the political, institutional, and curricular issues they encountered not only in their classrooms, but also in their wider schools and communities. Combining research-based methodology with firsthand pedagogical narratives, this book is a valuable resource for teachers, teacher trainers, researchers, and other stakeholders who support the teaching of Arabic.
This book shares the personal stories of fifteen talented educators, their successes, shortcomings, and growing pains about teaching with case studies in 12 different content areas. Case studies are slices of life which illustrate a myriad of dilemmas from moral issues to classroom management. Teaching with cases can offer educators a variety of opportunities to expand and extend their teaching skills, problem solving abilities, and grasp of contemporary issues in classrooms today. Case discussions also offer a window into pre-service, in-service or graduate students' experiences, opinions, perceptions, or misconceptions of educational dilemmas. Resources, examples, assignments, and cases are included. For any pre-service or in-service teacher.
