English Language Instructor
Amideast
Since October 2024
- As an English Language Instructor at AMIDEAST assigned to UM6P, I have been responsible for designing and delivering two-semester-long English language courses to undergraduate students in the medical field. The program aimed to strengthen students' general English proficiency with a strong communicative foundation to support their future engagement in global medical contexts.
- Key Responsibilities & Achievements:
Curriculum Design and Lesson Planning:
Developed comprehensive weekly lesson plans based on the Spark series by National Geographic Learning, a learner-centered curriculum integrating real-world content with structured linguistic progression. Lessons were adapted to meet the academic and professional needs of students in medicine, maintaining a balance between linguistic accuracy and fluency. - Focus on Communicative Competence:
Applied the Communicative Language Teaching (CLT) approach with a strong emphasis on real-life language use, collaborative learning, and task-based interaction. Activities encouraged peer communication, critical thinking, and the spontaneous use of English across academic and professional contexts. - Skill Integration and Progression:
Facilitated the integration of the four core skills (speaking, listening, reading, and writing) with grammar and vocabulary reinforcement. Special attention was given to speaking fluency, presentation skills, and medical-context discussions to prepare students for participation in international forums and research environments. - Contextualized Learning for Medical Students:
While the focus was general English, lesson themes and communicative tasks were often adapted to reflect topics related to health, ethics, well-being, global issues, and innovation in the medical sciences—making language learning relevant and motivating. - Instructional Strategies and Tools:
Utilized visual and multimedia tools provided by the Spark series to enhance engagement, including authentic National Geographic video content, real-life interviews, and intercultural case studies. Supplemented lessons with additional online materials and project-based tasks. - Assessment and Feedback:
Designed and administered formative and summative assessments aligned with CEFR descriptors. Provided continuous personalized feedback to support individual learner development, using self-assessment rubrics and reflective learning logs. - Classroom Management and Multilevel Differentiation:
Managed diverse and mixed-ability advanced-level groups across three academic years. Differentiated instruction to accommodate varying learning paces, using group work, peer teaching, and role-plays to maximize participation. - Tools & Resources:
