In our distinctive department, we examine dynamics of prejudice and bias to equip students with versatile skills for various careers. We empower them as linguists, critical thinkers, and educators through essential theoretical and practical tools for professionals and policymakers in the education system.
The department primarily focuses on the application of linguistic knowledge to language pedagogy, specifically in teaching Arabic as a foreign language and English to speakers of other languages, while also empowering change agents who foster learning and influence the educational experience. As an interdisciplinary field of inquiry, it tackles a broad range of language-related issues to enhance individual lives and societal conditions, drawing on various theoretical, methodological, and educational approaches from disciplines such as the humanities, social sciences, cognitive sciences, and natural sciences, thereby developing its own knowledge base about language, its users, and the underlying social and material conditions.
The department aims to empower change agents who foster learning and positively influence the educational experiences of students and families, and with its well-established national and international network, it serves as an excellent place for study, research, and professional development.

The TAFL program at AUC not only provided me with the fundamentals of teaching and linguistics, but it also provided me with practical experience as a fellow student by giving me the chance to observe AFL classes, assist teachers in their classes and teach.
Before applying to this program, I had 8 years’ experience of teaching Arabic as a foreign language. I filled several positions such as AFL education developer, trainer, senior instructor and vice manager. However, I felt that teaching because I have a passion for it and accumulated some experience is not sufficient. So I joined this program.
