Arabic Studies International enters the Social Media Arena with a new LinkedIn Group

Jan. 19, 2011 - PRLog -- Arabic Studies International (ASI) was entered the social media arena with a new group on LinkedIn.  The organization believes this platform will assist its continued stellar growth as the appeal of its international networking and promotion of the Arabic language and culture has been widely accepted.  Members use the organization's web site to obtain information pertinent to professionals in Arabic studies including discussions, events, publications, scholarships, studies abroad programs, and more.  Membership for most categories is free.

ASI Founder and President, Dina Elbahesh, stated "Beginning a presence on social media sites such as LinkedIn will help us to advance our mission.  We expect to continue the use of Social Media as our organization grows.  Particularly once we establish a regular program of conferences and workshops, social media will help to spread the word of our hard work."

ASI is a membership based/membership driven organization developed to promote collaboration, networking and communication across the varied fields of Arabic Studies.    Based in the United States, the organization is open to members worldwide.  Individual Membership benefits include networking among Arabic Studies professionals and students; access to various discussion forums including those focused on culture, linguistics, literature, research, and pedagogy; job postings, a customizable member profile, opportunities to post information about your publications, add blog articles, receive a monthly E-Newsletter, and reduced registration rates for future conferences.  Plans are underway for Arabic-related workshops and speaker sessions in various locations around the United States.  Additional details can be found at the ASI web site, http://www.arabicstudiesonline.org.  The organization is managed by Vietaly Enterprises, Inc. of Birmingham, Alabama, http://www.vietaly.com.
