About Janelle
I'm a PhD in Second Language Acquisition and Teaching and worked on methods and approaches to best teach Arabic and work with students who grow up speaking some Arabic. I truly love teaching Arabic—my goal is to help you reach your goals, no matter what they are. I want you to be excited about a language and culture that may be very different from your own. Learning Arabic will change your life for the better, as it did mine. When I'm not working or teaching, I enjoy yoga, volunteering, spending time at the beach, and taking my Cavalier King Charles Spaniel Stanley on walks. I hope to see you in class soon!

My teaching style is learner centered-that means I want you to speak and participate more than I do. I foster engagement through learning about your needs, interests, and career goals. If you are struggling, I will use verbal cues, audiovisual materials, and help in any way I can to help you develop expertise in the topic at hand. I want to bridge the gap between your current proficiency level and the expert level (google "Zone of Proximal Development" and "Scaffolding" to learn more about the sociocultural method of language teaching!)
Whether you need help with your current Arabic class or require private Arabic instruction starting from the beginning or higher levels, my lessons focus on building speaking, reading, writing, and listening skills at all levels. We will build skills through using materials based on popular textbooks, the publicly available Five Colleges Arabic website, Al Jazeera Arabic Learning, and other authentic written and video materials according to your level.
A beginner class will consist of reviewing homework on the alphabet, learning to read words, and reviewing and learning words in Standard and Spoken (Levantine) Arabic. We'll also practice speaking and use important vocabulary and grammar from homework.
An intermediate class will consist of reading simple, authentic texts about current events and topics you are interested in during class and responding verbally. You can ask questions about vocabulary and grammar during class. Based on your interests, I will assign homework assignments asking you to write about simple texts and learn and record more complex phrases, sentences, and cultural expressions. We'll review your work and responses in class. We'll also study vocabulary and grammar outside of class to understand simple texts and speak about them in class. I'll also answer your grammar questions to ensure you've mastered the topics being covered.
An advanced class will consist of discussing topics you are interested in and reading complex articles in class from the Media, classical tradition, and any culturally specific texts. We'll then discuss the texts live in class after you read to develop opinions about what we read. Homework will consist of writing responses to articles and recording yourself speaking about your opinions, as well as using new vocabulary and grammar. Students will bring questions about vocabulary, grammar, and cultural concepts to class.
If you are studying in a classroom environment and need support with homework and key concepts, we will work with those materials. We'll focus on your challenges in vocabulary, grammar, speaking, reading, writing, and listening while attending to skills that will push you to the next level of proficiency.
Why choose me? I went through the Arabic learning process myself and dedicated my PhD in Second Language Acquisition and Teaching to investigating how to best prepare curricula for Arabic students to understand authentic vocabulary and topics. I lived, studied, and worked in Egypt, Jordan, and Lebanon, but am American. I studied Arabic with a variety of prestigious study abroad programs and worked in the Middle East with prestigious study abroad programs such as NSLI-Y and CIEE. I have college and K-12 teaching experience working directly with learners who started where you are. I bring a unique perspective on culture and know what it takes to help you become proficient. I had my own challenges on my road to fluency-I use these experiences to enrich your lessons and ensure materials are appropriate, relevant, and authentic (and enjoyable!)
Lessons are best for ages 14-18 (late high school) as well as undergraduate and graduate students.
