Teaching Approach
|
|
|
. During the last two decades I completed several projects on native language interference. It was the perfect opportunity for me to integrate research from numerous languages in order to answer the questions.
I n addition to this, my experience gave me the invaluable opportunity to strengthen my research abilities. I collaborated with my fellow coworkers to do research, design and publish a few articles on education. I also, participated in textbooks and curriculum projects.
