Dr. Teena G.

I am an experienced English language teacher/trainer, teaching Communicative skills/IELTS/Spoken English/English literature & Grammar to all level students since 2013. I had completed my doctorate in English in 2014 and have more than 10 years of teaching experience in UAE. Speaking specifically as a teacher of English Language & Communication, my most fundamental pedagogical goal is actually quite simple. I seek to make my students conscious of the language that they use unconsciously every day. I do believe it is important to teach students not only about the assigned course content, but also about the variety of resources for research that are available (both in libraries and online) and how to critically evaluate those resources. In the Critical Reasoning course I always introduce students to the specific resources used in their own areas of interest and require written analyses of the resources, including comments on the strengths, usefulness, and potential shortcomings of the items under discussion. When the subject is English Essay Writing, I assign translations and linguistic commentaries in order to increase the students’ skill and facility with the English language in its various stages of evolution.
