Graduating from a Master’s program in Arabic Literature and several extracurricular activities, coaching and teaching experiences, I found joy in building bridges through intercultural teaching of the Arabic language both at school and university for native and non-native speakers. Aside from traditional language teaching, I also integrate primary source exercises from Arabic philosophy and theology to work on with my students. Learning and adapting emerging technologies that create a certain value and impact for the students inspire me in view of the varied challenges that have arisen with the pandemic.
