Josephine El Karkafi

I teach beginning, intermediate, and Levantine Colloquial courses of Arabic. I also taught intermediate intensive courses in the Summer Institute for the Languages of the Muslim World (SILMW) at The University of Illinois at Urbana–Champaign (UIUC). Since arriving at UIUC in 2015, I regularly make the “List of Teachers Ranked as Excellent by their Students.” Previously, I studied and taught Social Sciences in Lebanon. In 2015 - 2016 I developed the Arabic High School Program at UIUC. In 2018 I was certified for "Transitioning to Teaching Language Online"  in synchronous and asynchronous modes from the University of Minnesota.
