I finished my bachelor's degree at Sultan Qaboos University in 1995. In 2001, I earned a diploma in Educational Supervision. In 2002, I finished my master's degree in TESOL at Leeds University in the United Kingdom.
Currently, I teach English
to university students at the Arab Open University in the Sultanate of Oman. I
am also assigned to do other academic work at the university. I am the deputy
manager of the Quality Assurance and accreditation Unit in the Arab Open
University. In addition to that, I am tasked with coordinating the work of a part
of the English Department I also write coursebooks for teaching English for
different levels (including IELTS preparation courses).
In my previous post, I held the post of senior officer (SO1) Educational
Performance Evaluator in the Quality Control Department at the National
Defence College. My job involved improving the educational performance of the
college by applying a series of processes such as designing evaluation tools
(lectures and workshops evaluation), applying them to the concerned parties and
finally writing reports based on the results of these evaluations. Throughout
this possession, I have participated in writing the quality manual, the
strategic plan, the operational plan, the quality standards of education, the
SOPs, the auditing manual and the evaluation forms. I was nominated to be a
member in many committees and entrusted to write the reports and minutes of
these committees’ meetings. I was a member in the steering committee of the
annual symposium for four years.
