Profile

I am an Egyptian Teacher of English as a Foreign Language. I am married. I have three children. the older one is called Amira. The second one is called Ali. The last young lady is my special kid , she is called Sarah.  In fact I have, as all other people, so many good and bad characteristics. Strangely enough, you find people talk about just their good ones although it is important for a person to be aware of his/her own bad characteristics in order to be strong to face him/herself frankly. I am very enthusiatic person. Actually this characteristic may lead to some problems especially if you are teaching some reluctant students. Anyway, it is important to have such a charactistic. I am also hard-working and I am not a talktive person. I mean I do not know how to use sugary words as I am frank. once i see a default, i have to talk and utter it out frankly. Sometimes this causes  you some clashes with others. In my life I had some achievements that I consider from my own point of view (as I am still a young man) I still have little experience with life compared to our professors or elders. Anyway,alhamdulelah.I could have a unified stable family on the social side. on the scientifc side I could get my diploma in TEFL and my M. Ed in TEFL as well. and travel to the United Kingdom to have training on using technology (PC, LCD Projector, the Internet) in teaching English

Research Interests

I am totally interested in doing research on my own major. My major, as mentioned above, is teaching English as a Foreign Language (TEFL/TESOL). In specific terms, I am interested in using web-based syllabi and task-based language teaching approach. In fact this approach and the Internet, as a teaching tool, are considered the most up-to-date issues in the field of education.

Scientific interests

I am interested in teaching grammatical structures in context. In this way you can combine the four skills of Engish Language (Listening, Speaking, Reading, and  Writing) together with grammar in one lesson. Undoubtedly,using the integrated approach in TEFL exemplifies what you are teaching meaningfully. In addition to that, you can use real-lfe situations to practice English.
