Hind Zubeidat is a Bedouin educator with a B.Ed. degree and teaching certificate in English Language Teaching from the Academic Arab College for Education in Israel. He has four years’ experience teaching English as a foreign language to students from elementary to high school levels in Israel. Hind currently works at a language institute in Bosmat Tivon, where she prepares students for the Bagrut exams. Alongside her teaching, she is conducting research on how integrating culture into the EFL classroom can impact students’ engagement in speaking English.

In 2025, as part of the FLTA fellowship program, Hind will be traveling to the United States to teach Arabic. Believing in the power of language to connect people, Hind sees language learning to foster understanding and build bridges between cultures. She has participated in several international virtual exchange programs, including the Quadrilateral Teacher Training Telecollaboration Project, a collaborative initiative involving educators from Germany, Israel, Turkey, and Brazil in 2025, and the Game Changers in Education program in 2022-2023. These experiences helped her grow as a teacher and strengthened her belief in the power of intercultural learning.
