Amal Hussein Abu baker Kadi

 Lecturer

Profile

My name is Amal Hussein Kadi. I am an English instructor- teacher at the English language Institute at King AbdulAziz University in Jeddah, Saudi Arabia. I have been working here for about ten years, and before that I have worked since 1985, as an Arabic- English translator at the dean’s office at King Saud University in Riyadh, K.S.A for nine years. I have worked there as a public relation specialist, I also was responsible of admission and registration of the dean's office, and a secretary of the University Council of the Girl's department. I had received a trophy of King Saud University before I left it, as a reward.

After that I have moved to King Abdulaziz University, Madina Munwara branch in 1994, as an English instructor at the English department. I worked there for four years; during my staying there I studied my diploma in English language Methodology, and I got the second honor degree with a trophy of the honor student.

Then in 1997, I moved to King AbdulAziz University in Jeddah also as an English instructor at the English Language Institute till now.

I have always been concerned to continue my higher studies, and I had so many chances to do so, but it was not the right time for me. I think it is the most appropriate time for me now as K.A.U. has offered me a scholarship to complete my higher studies in TESOL in M.A. and PhD in a five years period of time.

Of course it would be a great chance if I complete my higher studies in Teaching English as a second Language, for so many reasons: first because I am very much interested in this field as it helped me a lot even in my everyday life to learn more and more about English as it is considered to be the first international language to be spoken in our world today.
