I have over 12 years teaching experience with a variety of age groups including school children and adults. I have also taught individuals, small groups and classes of up to 30 students. Moreover, I have taught in different settings: university department, private centres and college language centres. At the University of St Andrews I taught a number of modules for undergraduates (with some open to post-graduates as well). These included General Module of Arabic, years 1 &2; Media Arabic for year 3; Short Stories and Arabic literature for year 4. The main textbook used was Al-Kitaab fi Ta’allum al-Arabiyya. Teaching these courses was based on the communicative method. I teach both colloquial and modern slandered Arabic.
