I am a Ph.D. candidate at Middle East Technical University (METU) and I work as an EFL instructor in Ankara, Turkey. In my previous studies, I explored issues related to blended learning, cultural responsiveness in English language teaching, teacher learning and professional development, and English language teaching policy in Syria. In my MA studies, I worked with pre-service teachers with visual impairments. My areas of research interests are language teachers with disabilities, special needs students and language learning, language teacher education and professional development.
