Feedback
Feedback from the British Council Staff, London, UK
” As far as staff feedback is concerned, I really enjoyed your presentation- in the past we have had speakers talk about resources (normally home made stuff) and it has turned into a moaning session about how few resources are available without any real productive outcomes to the session. The way you delivered your presentation was very upbeat with eye catching/attractive slides that really showed people that there are no excuses for Arabic lessons not to be interesting and motivating. I really liked the way you presented the 4 different learner styles followed by learning resource solutions- this made your case really convincing. The actual delivery/pace and humour of your presentation also made it overall a very enjoyable session to attend.”
Feedback received from the conference delgates
- I enjoyed the e-learning resources & strategies
- The Arabic e-learning: a lot of materials and new ideas
- Getting to know as much people as possible, with very different backgrounds, strategies & implementations.
- Asset languages & e-learning resources & strategies for teaching Arabic because they gave chances for development & progress for Arabic Teachers
- As a potential future Arabic / MFL teacher, this event has fully encouraged me to proceed with my studies of the Arabic Language and go into teaching post – graduation. From what I have seen today there are a lot of amazing developments to look forward to as an Arabic teacher
- Do not re- invent the wheel with e-learning resources but collaborate with what is already developed
- Use the items more, more different ways in teaching Arabic, make it more fun, able to access more Arabic teaching resources
- Introduce e-resources to our school
