Food for thought: teach Arabic online & take your students on culinary adventures

1 August 2024

Food is indisputably part of a country’s culture and therefore, it also has a link to the language. There’s no point in learning a language without engaging with the culture, customs, habits, etc. Think of things like planned food tours and restaurant visits as part of your language-teaching curriculum. It will not only provide students with practical, real-life application of the skills they’re acquiring, but it will also add a touch of novelty to their learning process.

This methodology not only applies to in-person teachers. If you’re teaching online you can still work your way around it, like for example having a synchronized restaurant visit with your student, even if you’re in different locations. Let’s say you’re an Arabic teacher; you can find a restaurant with Middle Eastern or North African food in your student’s town, arrange for them to go there, and have a virtual session where you guide them through the different foods, vocabulary, etc.Visit the website to teach Arabic online to hundreds of students. You can choose your schedule, when and how to teach.
