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.

    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
