I'm Abdul Majeed. Have been teaching English for more than twenty years now, (Since 1988) to students from beginners to advanced level in Islamabad, Pakistan. Most of my students have been Pakistani students studying English as a compulsory subject at school and college level in public sector institutions of Islamabad. I have also taught English proficiency courses to learners from Pakistan and other countries at NUML (National University of Modern Languages) and Air University, Islamabad. I have also been working for curriculum development. I have been the editor for the books for the Masters program at NUML and have contributed in preparation of six course books at masters level. These books have been published by NUML and are still used as core textbooks for their MA program. I have also written a book for a short course for the preparation of IELTS test at NUML. I'm also on text book review committee working for FDE Islamabad. I have presented in [|international conferences] and conducted workshops and have also participated in [|TESOL 2008 annual convention]held in New York City. I was chosen by the US State Department for their [|International Visitor Leadership Program]in 2008 and visited about 15 US public and private universities including in 2008 and visited about 15 US public and private universities including in 2008 and visited about 15 US public and private universities including in 2008 and visited about 15 US public and private universities including in 2008 and visited about 15 US public and private universities including in 2008 and visited about 15 US public and private universities including in 2008 and visited about 15 US public and private universities including in 2008 and visited about 15 US public and private universities including Harvard University and Columbia University among others. I also have a keen interest in teacher training programs in Pakistan. I have been offering training sessions for public sector college faculty in Government run institutions under the auspices of Federal Directorate of Education in Islamabad. I have also worked in collaborative teacher training programs with USAID funded programs designed and implemented in collaboration with George Mason University, Virginia USA. I have worked for the US embassy in Islamabad for their English Access Microscholarship Program as coordinator. This is a US State Department program running in more than 60 countries. As a coordinator of the program I arranged for the training programs for the teachers hired at my leg of the program including their visits to the US for short training courses. I believe we can do much much more for our students and can benefit from the power of technology in English Language Teaching. This was one of the reasons I created this space for our class here at 'wikispaces'.
