Currently, I am an English Language Instructor at the University of Hail, Saudi Arabia where my primary role is to develop the student’s English ability before they undertake undergraduate studies in medicine and engineering. My existing one year contract ends in January 2017, and I am looking for a post that will allow me to continue sharing my experience of teaching in an Arabic teaching environment while further developing my professional and academic knowledge of English as a foreign language.

My MA dissertation has a specific focus on blended e-learning and classroom motivation in relation to Arabic culture and learning needs.
