Academic interests
I am an Arabic Language instructor at University of Oslo (2015) with a Masters on Classic Arabic linguistics (University of Alexandria 2015): My thesis focus was on the semantics and syntax of Arabic poetry from pre-Islamic times to the Abbasid era critiquing Ibn Jenny's approach and work). I have studied three semesters of Diploma in Teaching Arabic to Non-Native Speakers (University of Alexandria 2010): with a focus on curriculum development, student-centered learning, teaching discourses and approaches, Arabic morphology. My fields of interest are based on the communicative approach in teaching foreign Languages where the students are the center of teaching process. For instance, curriculum development, exams and assessment, task based and content based teaching, classroom activities, learning strategies.
