About this Blog

Teaching in Lebanon is a reflective space exploring the realities of learning, teaching, language, and life in a higher education context in Lebanon. The posts draw on classroom experience, emerging research, and the shifting educational landscape—covering topics such as pedagogy, student psychology, academic writing, sociocultural issues, and the growing influence of artificial intelligence on learning. This blog documents what it means to teach and learn in a country shaped by language diversity, crisis, resilience, and rapid technological change. It brings together observations from the classroom, commentary on global educational trends, and reflections on the challenges and possibilities facing students and educators in Lebanon today. My aim is simple: to think aloud about education, share insights, and contribute to a broader conversation on teaching and learning in Lebanon and beyond.

Blogging During the Pandemic - Blogging Insights

Those of us who have kept our blogs going during the Covid-19 pandemic must be wondering how this pandemic has affected other bloggers. One blogger, Dr. Tanya, has created a set of questions for bloggers to share ideas around (# blogginginsights):

1.How has the Coronavirus/COVID-19 pandemic affected your blogging? Are you posting more or less than you used to?

I would say, I am blogging at the same rate as before the pandemic, sporadically, several times a year. Still busy with teaching and everyday life matters, the pandemic has not stopped me from blogging or depressed me to a level of complete mental block; nor has it particularly energized my writing.

2.What is the tone of your posts these days, happy, sad, serious, worried?

My posts are still serious and generally cheerful (or so I believe). My readers can judge better. There has been no occasion to be particularly sad or worried about teaching though events have definitely taken a sad, worrying turn generally in Lebanon over the past couple of years.

3.Have you written any posts specifically about the crisis and its effect on your life? If so, please share a link?

Yes, most of my posts have related to the pandemic ever since it started:
4.What kinds of posts do you like to read these days?

I enjoy reading what others have to say about living in these special times: mainly teachers coping with distance teaching and learning - sharing experiences and tips; administrators commenting on the situation, and so on.
