Transcending Borders, Empowering Learners: Reimagining Linguistic & Cultural Exchange During Covid-19 Prof. Elizabeth Claire Saylor, North Carolina State University

Friday, 28 January 2022

1:00 PM - 3:00 PM EST

Presenter: Dr. Elizabeth Claire Saylor will discuss lessons learned as founder and director of the Yallah Al-Quds program, in a webinar entitled Transcending Borders, Empowering Learners: Reimagining Linguistic & Cultural Exchange During Covid-19. Yallah Al-Quds (Let’s Go Jerusalem) is a student-facilitated, faculty-mentored initiative that promotes ongoing Arabic and English language learning and cultural exchange between speakers of Arabic and English worldwide. Through bilingual theme-centered online discussion groups, hybrid conversational English courses, a virtual lecture series, and professional development workshops – all offered free of charge – Yallah al-Quds facilitators and participants gain real- world experience and build meaningful relationships with people around the world. Yallah Al-Quds seeks to radically reimagine language learning spaces by embracing a radical, anti-hierarchical approach to teaching and learning that prioritizes inclusivity, accessibility, reciprocity, and active responses to racism and unconscious bias.
