Me as a Teacher
I taught Arabic for non-native speakers of all ages and skill levels for the past 15 years, and I am also a certified ACTFL tester and evaluator. My love for teaching Arabic stems from my desire to help others understand and appreciate Arab culture.
My lessons & teaching style
In the classroom, I focus on presenting a full immersion experience. I do so by speaking with students only in Arabic when possible and try to give them a feeling that they are in a different atmosphere. It is important to me that my students learn Arabic, as it is, without looking at it through a foreign lens so that they can think and produce in Arabic without relying on translating as their source of understanding. To maximize learning, I also promote an active classroom focused on student participation and interaction.
