I am writing to express my interest in an English Language Teaching position at your institution. With over 25 years of experience in English language teaching, teacher education, curriculum development, and applied linguistics across higher education institutions in the United States and the Middle East, I bring a wealth of academic expertise and practical pedagogical experience. I am enthusiastic about extending my extensive teaching experience to online language education and contributing to the academic and linguistic development of learners from diverse international backgrounds. I hold a PhD in Applied Linguistics, specialising in corpus-based sociolinguistics, an MA in Teaching English to Speakers of Other Languages (TESOL), and a Cambridge Assessment English CELTA qualification (Pass B), completed in March 2026. My professional career has included appointments as Assistant Professor of English and Applied Linguistics at Sultan Qaboos University in Oman, Assistant/Associate Professor of Applied Linguistics at Western Carolina University in the United States, and Professor of ESOL at Palm Beach Community College. These positions have provided me with extensive experience teaching undergraduate and postgraduate students, designing curricula, developing instructional materials, assessing language proficiency, and supporting learners with diverse educational needs. My teaching expertise encompasses General English, Academic English, English for Academic Purposes (EAP), English for Specific Purposes (ESP), Academic Writing, Speaking, Reading, Listening, Grammar, and English language methodology. I have also played a significant role in TESOL programme development, having pioneered and implemented North Carolina's first standalone MA in TESOL programme at Western Carolina University. Additionally, I designed and coordinated language programmes at Sultan Qaboos University and have extensive experience mentoring students, supervising pre-service teachers, and supporting the professional development of junior faculty members.
