Talks, Research & Educational Thought

Sabitha Rahim actively contributes to the global conversation on education, language learning, and teacher development through research presentations, academic conferences, and professional training workshops.

Her work explores the intersection of teacher motivation, professional development, and the science of learning, with a particular interest in how insights from neuroscience and neuroplasticity can inform language teaching and classroom practice.

Sabitha has presented her research at several international academic conferences, including events held in Oxford, Oslo, and Madrid, where she shared her work on neuroplasticity and language acquisition in English as a Foreign Language (EFL) classrooms. Her presentation “Ballet of Neurons: Neuroplasticity in Language Acquisition” explores how understanding brain adaptability can enhance teaching strategies and student learning outcomes.

In addition to academic conferences, Sabitha has delivered numerous teacher training workshops and professional development sessions focused on topics such as:

• vocabulary acquisition and retention in language learning
• brain-based strategies for language classrooms
• motivation and engagement in EFL learning
• effective speaking skills development
• classroom interaction and collaborative learning

Her work has also extended into the fields of culture and public dialogue. In 2016, she presented at the Berlin Peace Conference, held in parallel with the Berlin International Film Festival, where she spoke on “The Role of Films in Promoting Peace in Society.” Through both research and professional training, Sabitha continues to explore how thoughtful teaching practices, informed by research and experience, can transform learning environments for both teachers and studen
