In this globalized world, less and less students speak their mother tongue. For many, Arabic is rigid and inaccessible. As a language teacher, Lina's on a mission to put Arabic back into their hands by introducing a form of rap in her grammar classes.

In the spirit of ideas worth spreading, TEDx is a program of local, self-organized events that bring people together to share a TED-like experience. At a TEDx event, TEDTalks video and live speakers combine to spark deep discussion and connection in a small group. These local, self-organized events are branded TEDx, where x = independently organized TED event. The TED Conference provides general guidance for the TEDx program, but individual TEDx events are self-organized.* (*Subject to certain rules and regulations)
