Personal Statement
The main attraction of teaching English language, for me, is the opportunity to interact with students from different countries and backgrounds. In particular, I have taught many Urdu and Arabic-speaking students - and this has fuelled my interest in Arabic-script languages, and the cultures of the Middle East and South Asia. I hope to pursue further research in this area, building on my MA dissertation in Urdu. I am also involved in material development and design, and in this respect have contributed significantly to the courses I teach. This year, I am writing and producing a training course for external staff about designing courses online.
