Embracing Cultural Diversity in Saudi Arabia: A Journey of Discovery and Connection 🇸🇦🌞 Teaching in Saudi Arabia has been a journey of discovery and connection. From the bustling cities 🏙️ to the vast deserts 🌞, this country is a tapestry of cultures, traditions, and experiences waiting to be explored. As educators, we have a unique opportunity to embrace the cultural diversity of Saudi Arabia and foster a deeper understanding and appreciation of its rich heritage. By engaging with our students, colleagues, and the local community, we can learn about the customs, values, and traditions that shape this fascinating country. My time in Saudi Arabia has been a continuous learning experience. I've had the privilege of visiting historical sites like the Al-Hasa Oasis 🏜️, exploring the bustling city of Jeddah 🌃, and experiencing the warmth and hospitality of the Saudi people. Through these experiences, I've gained a deeper appreciation for the complexity and beauty of Saudi culture. But embracing cultural diversity is not just about sightseeing or trying new foods. It's about building relationships 👪, breaking down barriers, and fostering mutual respect and understanding. By learning from and with our students, we can create a more inclusive and engaging learning environment that values and celebrates the diversity of our world 🌍. In Saudi Arabia, I've learned that embracing cultural diversity is not just a teaching strategy - it's a way of life. By connecting with our students and the communities we serve, we can create a brighter future 🌤️ built on mutual understanding, respect, and appreciation. #SaudiArabia #CulturalDiversity #EmbraceCulture #TeachingAbroad #DiscoverSaudi

🎓 Unlocking Insights: Academic Stress, Study Habits, and Achievement 🎓 Exciting news from the International Journal of Psychosocial Rehabilitation! We're thrilled to feature a groundbreaking study in our Special Issue 1 of 2020. 🔍 Authored by @Asma Sami Alnahdi and Mariya Aftab, this study explores the intricate relationship between academic stress, study habits, and academic achievement among university students in Jeddah. 📊 Employing a correlational research design, the study surveyed 50 undergraduates from two universities in Jeddah, examining their demographic information, academic stress levels, study habits, and academic achievements. 👩🎓 The findings reveal intriguing insights: female students reported higher levels of stress compared to their male counterparts. Furthermore, a significant negative correlation was observed between academic stress and study habits, emphasizing the importance of cultivating effective study practices amidst academic challenges. 🏅 Interestingly, while academic stress and study habits showed a significant relationship, no such correlation was found between academic stress and academic achievement, challenging conventional notions in academia. 📈 Join us in celebrating this insightful study shedding light on the complexities of academic life and its impact on student well-being and success. #AcademicResearch #PsychosocialRehabilitation #SpecialIssue #AcademicStress #StudyHabits #AcademicAchievement

Language is intrinsic to the expression of culture; it serves as a medium to communicate values, beliefs, and customs.   No matter how old you are, you are never too old to learn a language.   Having lived in the UAE for 10 years and calling it a home away from home, learning Arabic is one of the ways to immerse myself and respect its vibrant culture. Successfully completed the ‘A0 Starter' course from Eton Institute. A shoutout to my teacher Mr. Mohamed Elmahdi!   The best thing to happen during Ramadan.
