The Fulbright Award: Bridging Cultures: Sarkawt's Fulbright Experience Teaching Arabic Language and
Sarkawt arrived in the US on the Fulbright Foreign Language Teaching Assistantship, a nine-month program in 2014-2015 to teach Arabic Language and culture at both Reed and Lewis and Clark Colleges. The program provided an excellent opportunity to create cultural connections. As a Fulbright scholar, his primary goal was to teach Arabic, but it expanded to include activities that exposed US undergraduate students to the Middle Eastern culture, such as watching films, poetry readings, culinary demonstrations, and even dancing. During this time, he gained an understanding of different educational systems and social and cultural customs, adapting to an unfamiliar work environment. This experience allowed Sarkawt to refine his teaching skills, improve his English language proficiency, and broaden his knowledge of US society and culture. This experience has been a lifelong adventure, where he not only connected with brilliant minds, professors, and professionals but also learned that diversity and culture cannot be achieved by studying books but rather through experience.
