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 activities) and it has turned into a negqtive 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 Mahammed Bouabdallah via e-Arabic.com
“Mourad, The British Council’s conference on Arabic was very useful, and your presentation was excellent. I’m still waiting to see it on the Portal. Again many thanks for your efforts.”
Feedback received from the conference delegates
- In my opinion Mourad gave a first-class presentation.
- I have attended your presentation. Believe me, it was the best ever. الله يوفقك
- 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
