Introduction to Contemporary Africa-Its perceptions

From 62 C$ /h

In the Introduction to Contemporary Africa course, Ahmed covers Africa’s diversity in terms of history, population, culture, problems, human and ecological potentials. He introduces students to a range of factors that contribute to the uniqueness of contemporary African societies and identity of the different regions of the continent. The course highlights the institutional, political, social, and economic forces that have played critical roles in the transformation of African nations since their independence. With the students’ involvement in theoretical and practical foundations, Ahmed examines the influence of geopolitical factors in the development of African societies and discusses the potentials of African regional organization integration dynamics. Appropriately, he engages students to enumerate the key factors that contribute to internationalization of Africa’s individual countries; thereby identifying the complexities that engulf African communities to limit their global capacity. Popular belief about the continent embraces the notions of striking poverty, unemployment, gender inequality, health inadequacies, political turmoil, environmental degradation, famine, ethnic division, population dynamics, poor climatic conditions, trade disparities, to name a few. Ahmed inspires students to take a holistic approach in learning and developing a wider view of the diverse situations Africa countries experience. At the end of the course, Ahmed encourages students to compare contemporary Africa issues with those in other regions of the world.

About Me

My teaching philosophy is to assist in inspiring and empowering students to have choices of their development and achieve their potential. I focus on teaching multicultural infused lessons and interdisciplinary contents to increase students’ participation in the course work based on their traditional and cultural understanding of the content being taught. I believe students must have a stimulating educational environment where they can grow physically, mentally, emotionally, and socially. I will promptly provide written feedback on all the assignments and graded paper; and bring consistency, diligence, and warmth to the learning environment in the hope that I can ultimately inspire and encourage such traits in the students. I expect to learn new strategies, new ideas, new technologies and new philosophies as a measure of growth

Africa in Cinema--How Hollywood portrays Africa than

62 C$ /h

In the Africa in Cinema course, Ahmed covers the rich, and compelling historical and contemporary events that have taken place on the African continent, as represented through films and documentaries. The course content includes the historical development of films in Africa, a critical analysis of the various fiction, non-fiction, and documentary genres, and an evaluation of film theory related to African film. Students are also asked to compare Hollywood, Nollywood (Nigeria), and Ghallywood (Ghana) genres in terms of their interpretations and representations of the past, present, and future. Ahmed’s explanation of the context of these films enriches his classroom discussions, and provides space for others to express their opinions. Students’ discussions are often focused on the historical accuracy of films, and especially Hollywood’s dismissal or manipulation of facts that leads to an oversimplification of issues related to Africa. Too often Hollywood perpetuates myths that Africa is characterized only by conflicts, genocide, poverty, lack of education, and political and economic instability. Ahmed challenges his internationally diverse student audience to critically analyze worldview stereotypes in order to determine what is true versus what is fiction. Ahmed’s knowledge in these areas will hopefully be appealing not only to your students and faculty, but also to community audiences.

University Professor of English Communication| Native-level fluency and pronunciation| Several years of experience| Structured and enjoyable lessons

If, when it's time to speak, you struggle to find the right word, or you find yourself obliged to keep using the same expressions over and over in conversation, I want you to know that, at this stage, that is completely natural. However, you need an approach that addresses your particular weaknesses. Once you commit to the plan, it's just a matter of time until you become fluent. Then, fluency brings confidence, and confidence brings more fluency.
Language acquisition is a journey; it takes some time. I believe that what the learner needs is not just the right information, but also the right company. The human element is crucial. With that being said, Conversational English is not a friendly chat; it is a well-structured course, designed to keep you moving forward, to maintain steady progress, until you reach your goal.

In order to keep making progress, I take my student on a journey that involves:
• Improving their grammar.
• Fixing their pronunciation.
• Enriching their vocabulary by learning to use new words and common idioms.
By the end of this course, you should be able to speak English fluently and confidently.
