Teaching activities:

From 2020 to 2024, I have been dedicated to teaching a specialized module for third-year License students of English Language that delves into the intricate comparisons between US and UK political culture and governmental structures. This course provides students with a comprehensive understanding of the distinct political ideologies, historical contexts, and constitutional frameworks that define these two influential nations. Through a combination of lectures, discussions, and critical analyses, I guide students in exploring the foundational principles of democracy, the roles of various governmental branches, and the unique political dynamics within each country. By examining key political events, legislative processes, and the impact of cultural values on governance, students gain a nuanced perspective on how the US and UK political systems operate and influence global politics. This module not only enhances their knowledge of political science but also sharpens their analytical and comparative skills, preparing them for advanced studies and diverse career paths.

From 2020 to 2023, I have been committed to teaching English to doctoral students in the Political Science department, with a focused aim of enhancing their English language writing skills. This course is specifically designed to support these advanced students in crafting high-quality articles in their field of research, ensuring they can effectively communicate their scholarly contributions to a global audience. Through a combination of targeted writing exercises, peer reviews, and personalized feedback, I help students refine their academic writing, expand their vocabulary, and master the conventions of academic English. The ultimate goal is to empower these future political scientists to publish their research in esteemed international journals, thereby broadening the impact and reach of their work.

During the 2020/2021 academic year, I taught a module entitled "Online Research" to Master's students of English Language, designed to enhance their proficiency in utilizing educational websites for authoring their dissertations. This course focused on equipping students with the necessary skills to navigate and critically assess a variety of online academic resources. Through interactive sessions, practical workshops, and guided research exercises, I provided students with strategies for effectively sourcing, evaluating, and integrating digital information into their scholarly work. Emphasizing the importance of academic integrity and proper citation practices, the module aimed to empower students to produce high-quality, well-researched dissertations.
