Oxford/QFI Forum: Arabic Research and Practice in Schools

****INTERACTIVE EVENT PROGRAM****

Oxford and QFI hosted a two-day forum for researchers and practitioners at the Department of Education, University of Oxford, UK on July 11th-12th, 2024. The aim of the event was to bridge the gap between research and practice. We brought together key stakeholders from the teaching and learning of Arabic community to discuss the findings of a systematic review, and to consider actionable implications and next steps for more research on teaching and learning Arabic in schools.

Over the course of the two days, our aim was to:

• make researchers and practitioners aware of the extent and nature of existing empirical research;
• consider the pedagogical implications for schools of existing research;
• set priorities for future research in and for schools; and
• encourage and prepare teachers to conduct action-research in their classrooms, and researchers to conduct research in and for schools.
