Meet Angela, a native Arabic speaker from Jordan who has devoted 27 years to teaching at the Arabic Language Centre(ALC). What has kept her here for so long? It’s simple—she’s a people person who thrives on the energy of her students and feels deeply passionate about sharing her native language.
Central to Angela’s success is the highly effective teaching method developed 44years ago by ALC’s founder, Maliha Wehbe. This interactive approach emphasizes real-life communication and cultural immersion, ensuring students not only learn vocabulary but also build the confidence to use Arabic in everyday settings. Angela loves how this method makes each class fun, engaging, and memorable.
For her, the most rewarding part of teaching is seeing once-nervous beginners blossom into Arabic speakers who can confidently hold conversations at work and in their daily lives. After nearly three decades in the classroom, Angela’s excitement for teaching remains as strong as ever—proof that a warm heart, a genuine love for people, and a proven methodology can inspire new speakers of Arabic, year after year.
