Education

Master's degree, Business Administration
  • at The British University in Dubai

Diploma, Translation
  • at VIP Education Institude

I completed a professional diploma in Arabic/English translation with distinction

I attended a TEFL professional course and passed with distnction

Bachelor's degree, English Language and Literature
  • at Aleppo University, Faculty of Arts and Humanities
  • January 2006

During my work time, I prepared some researches but I presented few of them. The most important research I did was a sociolinguistic and psycholinguistic study about students who were attending in the International Academy for Health Sciences. I invented the most suitable teaching ways which goes with students’ abilities and appeal. Within my study in Aleppo university, many researches and seminars were prerared by me. The most important one was a comparison between the structural based approach and the functional one of teaching modern languages and how each approach views the best way for learners, but I concluded in my last statement that we have to create a med-way compromising bridge that in turn focuses on both approaches.
