I am an applied linguist with specialization in the interdisciplinary fields of second language studies and sociolinguistics. My research focuses on language ideologies; language learner identities and emotions; English medium instruction and transnational higher education in the Arabian Peninsula; global Englishes; and Arabic heritage language learners. My work has appeared in top tier journals such as TESOL Quarterly, System, The Language Learning Journal, Linguistics and Education, Multilingua, and World Englishes.
