What I'm looking for

I'm looking to continue contributing through English teaching, school leadership, IELTS preparation, teacher training, and educational development.

I've taught English across Jordan and Saudi Arabia, including Saudi Aramco’s Industrial Training Center, Jubail Industrial College, and public schools in Irbid.

As an assistant principal and English teacher, I combine school leadership with classroom teaching. I have also delivered IELTS preparation at Language Makers Academy and TESOL training for English language teachers.

My doctoral research examined electronic collocation-based instruction for Jordanian EFL learners’ reading comprehension and word knowledge. I publish research on EFL learning, teacher professional development, listening difficulties, and learner errors.
