There is an interesting article about my fellow FLTA Reham Othman in The Alestle, SIUE’s campus newspaper, today. It is very well written. Reham is from Egypt and she teaches Arabic, one of the oldest and most populated of world’s languages.
But reading the first comment on the article, I am convinced that exporting and exchanging language and culture might not always be the easiest way to correct deeply-held prejudices and mindsets, even though it is the best and most powerful means accessible to all. Find the article here.

Thank you for bringing the article and the post to my attention! It made me so angry that I wrote a post about it here: http://clarissasbox.blogspot.com/2009/10/hatred.html
