Dr. Nimer Abusalim (The University of Jordan)
Hello! This channel is dedicated to fulfilling the first-half of our Blended-Learning and Flipped Learning classrooms in the Department of English Language and Literature at the University of Jordan. Some topics are deliberately not covered too extensively so as to keep some portion of work for in-class discussions and Instructor contributions.
Dr. Nimer Abusalim is an Assistant Professor of Linguistics - Semantics and is a believer that traditional methods of teaching are not only out-dated, but are, also, not producing the minds that new generations can best excel with. One step at a time, a shift to 'quality' learning instead of blind 'quantity' should help students retain what they learn and put it to use in society.
