I joined the University of Westminster (LAS, School of Humanities) in 2019 to work on my PhD. In the final year of my studies, I started working as a PTVL in the MA TESOL department and CETI. I teach Academic English for Postgraduate Study, Materials Development, and Language and Learning: Description and Analysis modules for postgraduate students. I also teach Academic English for Disciplinary Study for first-year undergraduates.
I hold a BA degree in English Language Teaching (2010) and an MA in Linguistics (2015) from the Uzbek State World Language University in Tashkent (Uzbekistan) and an MA in TESOL (2014) from the Northern Arizona University (Flagstaff, USA). I also obtained a University of Westminster-accredited PGCert (2016) in Teaching and Learning. Before moving to London to receive my PhD in Linguistics (University of Westminster, 2023), I worked as a lecturer and teacher trainer at Westminster International University in Tashkent (Uzbekistan) for over five years.
My research interests primarily focus on English Medium Education and English Medium of Instruction in Central Asia, Sociolinguistics, and Teacher Training.
I have undertaken primary research on English-medium Education in Central Asia.
