Emel Ozari

Having taken the opportunity to travel and experience other cultures, I am currently working at a college of technology in Ibra, Oman. I am responsible of 18 hours of teaching in all four skills (reading, writing, listening and speaking) in elementary level 1. I am a member of the Health and Safety committee and I have had responsibilities such as developing health and safety surveys as well as being the spokesperson at health and safety fire drills. I was also part of the team that was responsible of preparing extra (supplementary) materials for our respective levels in the college. I help with any kind of proofreading I am requested to do. Some of my other duties are recording the PT and LEE listening exams with other colleagues.

consecutive and written translation services. Nicosia, Cyprus.
I worked as a freelance consecutive translator for the EU missions that took place in the Northern part of Cyprus. My services provided translation as well as interpretation, from both Turkish to English and from English to Turkish throughout meetings and seminars that took place during these missions. Missions were carried out at places such as the Veterinary Department, Ministry of Finance, Ministry of Health, the Ministry of Agriculture and various other official offices. The fruitfulness of the meetings depended very much so on the interpreter's disciplinary and social skills, and I believe most of my success was due to the fact that I was equipped with the necessary tools.

Supporting Activities that Value the Environment) USAID funded project. Nicosia, Cyprus.
As the Communications and Office Manager I was responsible for the coordination and organization of the tasks within the project. These tasks were Cultural Heritage and Environmental tasks. Liaising with clients and grantees were a big part of my job. I was also responsible of all verbal and written translations within the project. During my experience I worked very closely with the Finance Manager that allowed me to have an insight to her responsibilities also within the project. Organising files, over viewing budgets and following up with grants were my secondary duties.

I was responsible for teaching English grammar and speech to people from various ages, from adults to infants. My duties included preparing lesson plans and activities.

After graduating from Eastern Mediterranean University, I began teaching as an instructor of English Language at Cyprus International University. This gave me the grounding for communicative language teaching methods. I taught several classes at different levels and was responsible for preparing my own materials, writing and marking my own exams. I was also assisting on the service courses for faculty English which involved teaching students from different departments. I was able to experience a wider range of levels as well as creating a variety of ESP materials to suit their department. This involved detailed research in order to tailor the materials to suit their needs. I also worked as a lecturer in the ELT department and have taught faculty students of ELT. I was able to draw upon my knowledge of English and American Literature and critical theory for the Short Stories course. Having enjoyed working as a teacher, I decided to apply for an MA and have furthered my knowledge in this field.

This was an annual conference held at EMU, organized by the department of English Literature and Humanities. It was a conference consisting of various academicians involved in the field of English Literature whom presented their research and published works. A series of exhibitions, multi-media installations and musical events were held and I was part of the organizing committee which was responsible for the preparation, easy-flow and meet and greet schedule for the symposium. I took part in a theatrical called “Baggage” by Fateh Azzam. My role as an airport announcer introduced me into the world of acting; it has boosted my confidence in speaking to an audience and helped me gain the experience of being part of a cast of actors.

I worked full time for this insurance company in order to gain a working knowledge of an office environment. Due to my native English language I was held responsible for liaising with foreign customers, collecting information about the type of insurances they required. I typed formal documents, spoke to clients on the phone and at times delivered insurance covers to the clients. I also greeted people at Ledra Palace border in Northern Cyprus with the required documentation. Telesales was a big part of my job requirements.
