I am, at present, a Lecturer in the English Department at the British University in Egypt -- El Shorouk City, Cairo. I am a U.S. citizen with a PhD in English Literature and Applied Linguistics-Stylistics (2000), as well as a master's degree (1994) and a postgraduate teaching diploma in Teaching English as a Second Language(1992). I obtained my Bachelor's Degree from San Jose State University, California, USA (1983). I have taught both in the United States and abroad.
My research is in the field of using English language translations of the Quran as material for the teaching of English language and literature to non-native English speakers. I have done extensive work in this area since 1992, and I have accumulated many case studies and classroom observations. Starting from the experience of substituting sections from the Quran for the standard classroom text, I have employed various pedagogical approaches to teaching the Quran as literature -- questionnaires, stylistic analysis, comparative studies of different English language translations, linguistic analysis of verses, and so on. I have also organized a forum on this topic with experts in the field.
In doing all of this, my intention was not to look at the religious value of the verses, but at the literary value that is so abundant in both the English language translations and the original.
I have been able to prepare about 20 articles based on the data from my classroom experiences. The possible fields of publication are many: Education, ESL, Literature, English Language Teaching, Literary Texts, Linguistics, Pedagogy, Stylistics, Religious Studies and Education, Humanities.
I am looking forward to sharing my research based findings internationally in the very near future.
