    Academic Background:
    In 2005, I attained a bachelor’s Degree in English Language and Literature from Tabuk University, in Saudi Arabia. Then, I gained a Master's degree in Linguistics from Bangor University in 2016. I work as a lecturer in the language and translation department of Tabuk University where the language used in teaching is entirely English language. I teach a range of different linguistic subjects, with a particular focus on semantics, morphology, and language acquisition which remains a key interest of study. Currently, I’m a PhD student in the school of modern languages and intercultural studies at Maynooth University.
