APETAU is pleased to announce that it will soon be launching a series of lectures under the title of APETAU Academic Forum which will begin on the Saturday of the first week of every month. APETAU Academic Forum will focus on major issues surrounding language, literature, and translation and speakers will be specialists in their respective fields. The aim of our series is to bring together English specialists from all parts of the Arab world ( the first of its kind) and to create an intellectual atmosphere where APETAU members generate ideas for future research. Our sessions will be conducted via Zoom. For those interested in presenting or giving any ideas on future lectures please contact Dr. Duaa Salameh at This email address is being protected from spambots.
