ABOUT
I am an associate professor of Modern and Contemporary American Literature and hold a doctoral degree form the US. I have had a job in the Middle East for 12 years and have been director of the Language Center and the Arabic as a Foreign Language Program at Yarmouk University since 2010. A polyglot myself, I have always been interested in languages and their acquisition. I have also many times been involved in helping students deal with cultural shocks and cultural gaps. I have been teaching English as a foreign language and its literatures for over 15 years.
