Welcome
🎓 My Academic Journey
My academic journey has taken me from Saudi Arabia to the United States and back again. I hold graduate degrees in Applied Linguistics and Translation, including a PhD in Translation Studies from Kent State University, USA.
My academic interests include English language learning, translation, corpus-based learning, and educational technology.
👨🏫 My Teaching Philosophy
I believe that learning English is not simply about memorizing vocabulary or passing exams. It is about developing the skills and confidence to use English effectively.
In my classes, you can expect to:
Learn by doing, not just listening.
Participate in activities, quizzes, games, and discussions.
Experiment with different learning strategies.
Use technology to support your learning.
Reflect on your progress and discover what works best for you.
Most importantly, making mistakes is part of learning. You do not need perfect English to participate.

Research

Learning Philosophy
