This workshop introduces practical and accessible ways to integrate AI into Arabic language teaching for both native and non-native learners. Participants will explore how AI can support teachers in modeling high-quality reading and writing responses, generating differentiated texts and vocabulary lists, and creating templates that guide students through structured thinking.
The session also demonstrates how AI can streamline assessment through rubrics-based feedback, automated question generation, and personalized learning pathways. Teachers will leave with ready-to-use prompts, tools, and frameworks that enhance instruction across all Arabic skills, reading, writing, speaking, and vocabulary, while improving efficiency and student engagement in today’s classroom.
