I have been in the field of ELT for 20 years now. I have been on the teaching force of big institutions and universities with jobs ranging from classroom teaching to program coordinating and managing.
I am now a proud staff tutor (Assistant Professor) with Arab Open University.
I don't quite subscribe to the obsolete classification of classroom demographics into teacher and students. I have always held that a class of twenty-one individuals has twenty teachers and one student. As much as we give, as teachers, we receive, and as much as we inspire, we get inspired.
I teach and coordinate the following courses
EL111/ EL112/EL117/AA100A/AA100B/A230A/A230B
