Teaching

I teach English in the Pathways and Foundation Program at the Asian University for Women (AUW), Chattogram, working with multilingual students at CEFR levels A1–B2. I have taught English in Bangladesh for about twelve years, including as a Lecturer in the Department of English Language and Literature at the University of Creative Technology Chittagong.

Approach

My classes are built around active participation: multimedia resources, role-play and interactive group work that ask students to use English, not only study it. I am particularly interested in how gamified tasks, AI tools and multimodal design can make language learning more engaging, and I bring these into my teaching and research.

Courses and areas taught

English for academic purposes: academic reading and academic writing
IELTS preparation (academic module)
