For the last 30 years, my teaching and research interests have been
focused on the teaching of English as a foreign language to
Arabic speakers, and on translation and interpreting into and
out of English and Arabic. However, my teaching and
research experience goes beyond this specific English/Arabic
context: I have

 written extensively on translation and second language learning


from a discourse perspective,
 supervised and examined MAs and PhDs written in English,
dealing with a variety of linguistic and cultural backgrounds
(including Malay and Chinese),
 lectured widely to audiences from a variety of linguistic and
cultural backgrounds on a diverse range of topics including
Orality and Literacy, Discourse and Genre Analysis and
Communication Across Cultures.
 taught on Master Programs for English and languages other than
Arabic (e.g. Spanish, Finnish, Chinese, Greek, Korean)

These activities are documented in the following sections under:

Prof. Hatim is a wonderful instructor I've ever met in my life. I've learnt a lot from him; not only
from the materials or the information he gives, but also from his way of thinking. I like his way
of teaching! He encourages me to read a lot and continue learning. I'm a teacher at school
1 and start following his rules because his way of teaching is strong and helps realize the
outcomes fruitfully.

May Allah bless him.
