Bio
I work with both graduate and undergraduate students in applied linguistics, applied multilingual studies, second language acquisition and Arabic studies – always on issues of interest to them, eventually of interest to me.
My own research is mainly in the interdisciplinary field of second language acquisition. The crux of my scholarship focuses on underscoring the relationship and inconsistency between language ideologies and everyday actual sociolinguistic practices in societal and individual language use contexts. To this end, my primary reserach interests include multilingual and multidialectal practices and second language pragmatics. some of my recent publications in this domain have appeared in peer-reviewed journals such as Applied Linguistics, The Modern Language Journal, Foreign Language Annals, System, Frontiers, etc. And my efforts to share the work I do go beyond publishing venues, and have included lecturing, giving research presentation and serving on Ph.D. dissertation committess in Australia, Canada, France, Egypt, Greece, Jordan, Malta, Morocco, Qatar, Spain, United Arab Ermirates, United Kingdom and United States.
Prior to joining Carnegie Mellon University, I taught at the University of Arizona and directed and coordinated study abroad programs around the Arab region, including Egypt, Jordan and Morocco.
