Basem Fouad

I hold a Bachelor's degree in Arabic Language and Literature and Islamic Studies (2010), and subsequently obtained a General Diploma in Teaching Methods.

I began working as an Arabic language teacher for Arab students in Egyptian schools, and subsequently started teaching Arabic to non-Arab students.

Throughout my career, I have completed numerous accredited training courses in teaching Arabic to non-native speakers, including: training for teaching Arabic to foreigners, integrating technology into Arabic language instruction, and specialized courses for each individual skill—listening, speaking, reading, and writing.

Throughout my career teaching Arabic to non-native speakers, I have worked with students of diverse nationalities and varying objectives.

My students have included diplomats, university students from Europe, residents of Egypt wishing to speak the local dialect, and Muslims seeking to deepen their understanding of their faith through the language.

As student goals differ, so too does the curriculum; notably, while working at the Arab Academy—one of the institutions where I have taught—I contributed to developing course materials on topics such as journalism and media.
