May 20, 2014
Dear Sir:
Attached to this letter is my resume that summarizes my education and expertise, particularly
in teaching and training teachers, and university faculty members.
As can be seen from my resume, I received an MA in Teaching English as a Second
Language (MTESL), and a Ph.D. in Educational Technology from Arizona State University
(ASU), USA. Before moving to UAE University in the academic year 2000, I was working at
ASU as a research assistant and then as a post doc, where I taught some graduate and
undergraduate technology courses during the academic year 1999-2000.
I have published a number of research articles at a number of international journals since my
graduation in 1999. In addition, I have presented at numerous local, regional and international
conferences held at various counties such as UAE, USA, China, Malaysia, Germany, Austria,
and Italy.
I am very much involved in training k-12 school teachers in integrating technology in their
teaching. At the College and university levels, I have been involved in the College of
Education Accreditation Process at UAE University since the academic year 2000-2001. In
addition, I have been involved in the development of courses syllabi/curriculum for graduate
and undergraduate programs.
To conclude, I can summarize my professional expertise as (a) a lecturer of courses related to
English, Technology, Curriculum and Instruction, (b) a trainer of k-12 teachers and university
faculty members in technology and educational related fields, (c) and a researcher in
educational fields including English and technology. I can also assume some administrative
affairs as I had experience coordinating the Elementary Education program at the university
for so many years. This program consists of 4 different tracks.
Sincerely,
Dr. Abdurrahman Ghaleb Almekhlafi
