Best Teaching Techniques

This method stands out as one of the simplest and most impactful ways, allowing learners to engage with Arabic right from the Beggining.
Effective Teaching Methodology
We focus on small classes and adopt a cross-cultural communicative approach which helps students to easily advance through our levels and develop their speaking skills. We follow the situational language teaching methodology where the spoken language is presented through situations that do not require translation.
