Research in the Middle East and North Africa

Edited by SAHBI HIDRI

English Language Teaching Research in the Middle East and North Africa “Hidri’s volume is an interesting compilation of language teacher research conducted by scholars based in the MENA. This volume is one of the first to showcase the diverse research efforts of the region. It is a necessary addition to any language teacher’s professional library.” —Christine Coombe, Dubai Men’s College, UAE, and TESOL President (2011–2012) “Congratulations to Sahbi Hidri and contributors for bringing together this comprehensive and much needed volume on English Language Teaching Research in the MENA. The book’s inclusiveness, both in terms of the topics and regional representation, will make it a must read for anyone working on ELT issues in the region.” —Ahmar Mahboob, University of Sydney, Australia “Hidri’s edited volume provides a useful introduction to the research issues that MENA scholars find important to address regarding their contexts. The questions that are asked reveal a lot about how English is taught, learned, assessed, and used across the region and serves as an excellent foundation for future research. It is a welcome addition to ELT scholarship.” —Dudley Reynolds, Carnegie Mellon University Qatar and 2016–17 TESOL International Association President
