Jocelyne Owens
Instructor, Department of Language Studies
Arabic Language
MA Exeter University
I was born, grew up and graduated with a BA in Alexandria, Egypt. Through family circumstances, I grew up bilingual in Arabic and French, and in Arabic, bidialectal in Egyptian and Syrian varieties. I have over 35 years of teaching experience, 14 of them in the field of Arabic teaching. During this period I have taught at all levels and taught different varieties of Arabic. During my career, I have taught students of various nationalities: Libyan, Nigerian, Jordanian, German, French and American. This has expanded my understanding of different cultures and attendant language teaching problems. Besides my “native” familiarity with Egypt and Syria, through extensive stays in Libya and Jordan I have become closely familiar with a broad spectrum of the Arabic world.
