For those of you that may have missed it, the final of the 2024 Abu Dhabi Grand Prix has come and gone. However, do not worry. You can catch it on their official YouTube page.

The month of November is remembered by many in the UK for celebrating Bonfire Night, but for LATC, we have a much bigger reason to look back on the month. This was the month in which we presented at conference across the pond in the United States of America. Yes folks, we took our team all the way to Philadelphia, seen by many as the home of American liberty. There, before curious crowds, we gave an insight into our own perspectives on teaching the Arab language and culture.   We have been busily scanning the media for interesting articles and news stories to share with you. Some of the noteworthy entries include an attempt to reclaim Arab womanhood, a new book about Qatar's ecosystems, Saudi fashion and The Red Sea fashion week, autism awareness, and Arab cinema, to name but a few!
Check-out the LATC NewsWatch and also the archives! So that was it. We went to Warwick to attend the annual Language World conference and, if we do say so ourselves, it was a great triumph! The workshop that we presented was hugely successful and we left the venue feeling quite chuft (yes, that really is a word!) with ourselves with regards to our performance and the overall outcome. More details to follow, including a new section we have entitled The lessons that we learnt from our workshop in Warwick - hey, why beat around the bush? Here at LATC we pride ourselves on being upfront and telling you how it is! Our team had a great success, but we will in time, as we settle back to normal day-to-day activities, reflect on what we did and how things went, and consider and discuss the many lessons that we learnt from the experience. Our next scheduled event in Scotland, in June, will be an even greater success!
There will be a meeting of the LATC executive taking place today. We have many issues to discuss, such as how we move forwards with our new ideas for the council and specifically, the best ways for us to document our activities through our website. We will be discussing preparations for our workshop at Language World in Warwick on 6th of March, what publicity materials we have, how we can start publishing audio and video for this site with Arabic students, and what's next for the executive to consider. Highlights of the meeting will be published in this blog next week.
