Teaching Philosophy

The aim of teaching foreign languages is to prepare learners for communication and bringing nations and cultures closer to each other. The integration of technology as a learning method during Coved 19: such as online learning, digital storytelling, and online peer-reviewed assessment, has shown positive impacts on students' critical thinking and problem- solving skills in foreign language classes. This is needed for globalism and reducing bias and prejudice, solving religious and racial differences. It is also needed for commercial, political, cultural relations, and preparing learners for work and career pathways.
