I truly believe that authentic researches on the ground- in my classes and in the departments I belong to- are the truest and healthiest means for any built-up academic objectives. This way researches will provide focused and complementary answers to imminent academic needs.
My academic interest is two-folds:

• First, the Acquisition and Development of English Language Competences in blended Education (Online & Traditional)
• Second, the Enriching and Updating of Pre-Service teachers’ repertoires with the aim of building Strong Educational Foundations.

Years of successful university teaching experience in teaching communicative English Language courses, ESL as well as Education courses (for pre-service teachers: theory & practicum), Intercultural courses, and Learning Research Technique courses (even during the insecure Lebanese war years) has proved my ability to establish and maintain rapport with students, teachers, administrators, cultural programs, international as well as local educational associations.
