Connecting the disciplines

What connects the research, teaching and educational guidance?

Across these areas, his work returns to a common problem: educational decisions often appear more certain than the evidence on which they rest. A language test score, a student’s academic record or an observation from a classroom can be informative without providing a complete account of the person or learning process concerned. Understanding that distinction requires attention to the design of the evidence, the conditions of its production and the consequences of its interpretation.

His approach therefore brings scholarly inquiry into conversation with professional experience rather than treating either as sufficient on its own. The aim is to make educational judgement more transparent, context-sensitive and open to revision. This is an intellectual orientation, not a claim that every associated idea has already been validated through empirical research.

Academic formation

A research path grounded in language education and expanded toward educational decision-making.

He completed his PhD in Education at Arak University in 2026. His doctoral research, with a focus on English language education and Applied Linguistics, examined the cultural and pedagogical fit of the Top Notch series in Iranian EFL contexts through a mixed-methods design. Applied Linguistics has remained one of the central research and professional fields through which he approaches language education, materials, assessment and learning.

University teaching

Teaching has remained the practical ground against which research questions are tested.

His university and higher-education teaching experience includes Tehran University of Medical Sciences, the University of Kashan, Payame Noor University in Kashan, Shahid Rajaee Technical University in Kashan, Feiz Institute of Higher Education, Fadak Institute and Khavaran in Tehran. His teaching has included Applied Linguistics, linguistics, methodology, speaking and listening, research methodology, language assessment, curriculum and materials development, EAP/ESP and specialised English, including English for medicine, computing and accounting.

Research & scholarship

Applied Linguistics is a central strand, but the questions increasingly cross disciplinary boundaries.

Peer-reviewed work includes research on the cultural and pedagogical fit of the Top Notch series, lexical and temporal fluency, and listening-related learning. A chapter on humanistic materials evaluation has also been accepted into the completed-chapter bank for a Brian Tomlinson/Douglas Bell edited volume with Bloomsbury, with final placement pending.

Professional practice

Research has always been accompanied by work with learners, families, teachers and organisations.

Academic service & development

Professional growth has included research service, conference work and continuing development.

Academic service has included conference presentation, reviewing, chairing and organisation, including the 3rd Global Conference on Linguistics and Foreign Language Teaching in 2015 and University of Tehran IELTI activities. Professional development has included work on corrective feedback, curriculum for English Language Teaching, concordancing, IELTS speaking and writing assessment, recasts in EFL contexts and Rasch measurement with WINSTEPS.

Leadership, communication & creative work

The professional record is wider than university teaching alone.

His experience also includes international communication and specialist translation support in professional meetings and negotiations, a five-year elected term on the Islamic Village Council of Yazdel with one year as vice-chair, educational and cultural work with young people, and sustained engagement with writing beyond academic prose. Published poetry collections include Light, Darkness and Dead End; further literary and educational books are in preparation.
