I am a PhD student in the Applied Linguistics and Technology program at Iowa State University in Ames, Iowa. I hold a bachelor's degree in Translation from King Saud University in Riyadh, and an M.A in Applied Linguistics from the University of Sheffield in the United Kingdom. I taught many courses to undergraduate students such as writing, vocabulary, applied linguistics, and scientific and legal translation. My research interests include language assessment literacy, the assessment of speaking and the role of corrective feedback in second language learning.
