About

Mohamed Moghazy is an applied linguist and teacher educator specializing in e-learning and assessment aspects of language learning, teaching, and use. He is an Arabic and Islamic department chair at Collegiate American School, Dubai, UAE, where he contributes to the development and operation of teaching Arabic as a foreign language and Islamic for non-native speakers program.

Mohamed earned his doctoral degree from the University of Illinois, Urbana and Champaign, USA. His recent work has dealt with issues of evaluation, motivation, technology, e-learning, culture, and literacy in the learning of Arabic as a foreign language in the U.A.E and the U.S. He has also investigated identity construction and language use in online learning during the COVID-19 context using methods drawn from ethnography and corpus-based discourse analysis. He continues to conduct research and teach courses on identity, assessments, teaching methods, motivation, culture, and literacy, particularly in relation to heritage language learning and less-commonly-taught languages.
