About Asmaha

My responsibility as a language teacher is to broaden my students’ worlds each day through communicative language teaching. In a more globally focused society, it is crucial to be able to communicate in another language, especially cross-culturally. In order to engage and motivate the students I try to incorporate various types of media such as music, film and literature. The four skills of reading, speaking, writing and listening can all be stimulated by using media in the classroom. Using media from the target culture, students work with authentic materials that offer a realistic insight into the target language and culture. As a language teacher I am not just responsible for teaching students about reading, writing, speaking and listening, but also the target culture.

Teaching Expertise
