General Questions

Academic Affiliation: Research fellow, CGC, Amman
Research Interests: My research interests encompass English teaching, translation studies, and language fluency. I focus on innovative pedagogical approaches that enhance student engagement and promote interactive learning environments. I aim to explore practical strategies that address diverse learner needs, fostering a deeper understanding and appreciation of the language. The field of translation also intrigues me as it highlights the challenges and creative solutions involved in effective communication across linguistic boundaries. Finally, my interest in language fluency is centered on understanding how learners acquire proficiency in English through both classroom instruction and practical use. I aim to identify factors that contribute to fluency development, such as immersive experiences and authentic communication opportunities.
Displacement: Being a Yemeni academic presents unique and significant risks, especially for those in the humanities and social sciences fields. Firstly, academic freedom is lost, limiting the ability to express ideas or engage actively within society. Another serious challenge facing academics in Yemen is forced unpaid employment, which has compelled many to seek alternative jobs such as restaurant waiters, construction workers, or delivery services. In addition to forced unpaid labor, Yemeni academics are subjected to strict scrutiny and control. They are forced to adhere strictly to the militia’s agenda, avoiding any topics that might be beneficial or controversial. Academics must either remain rigid and compliant or risk severe repercussions, including imprisonment, torture, or even the death penalty if they resist.In my case, I was unable to return to Yemen due to the oppressive practices targeting academics. I remained in India for nearly 10 years, holding onto the hope that one day my country would be free and I could return to rebuild it. Yet now, I find myself on a new journey of displacement in Amman, Jordan.
