G. Summary of my research and professional Activities

26

Page 27: CV. Baha makhoul 25.5.15

My research work is targeted at creating and strengthening the link

between the accumulated scientific data and the educational field. This

aspiration has been accompanied me since my doctorate studies that

was followed by several scientific efforts in two main domains:

1. The investigation of 1st language acquisition process in

Arabic

2. Implementation of the acquired knowledge in the

educational field.

My work has concentrated on the developmental aspects of language

acquisition (from pre-school to High school) among diverse population.

I believe that the integration science based knowledge in the field is a

key element for innovation and advancement education and the related

fields, inducing both educational and social change. Since 2004, I have

occupied several positions: language and literacy counselor in order to

advance pupils with learning difficulties and disabilities, researcher and

developer of literacy intervention programs and administrator of

educational material developing unit etc. Such diversity has enriched my

practical and scientific knowledge in various domains, like linguistics,

psycholinguistics and literacy acquisition.

My research domains are as follows:

1. Investigating educational and cognitive aspects from

developmental perspective (sectional and cross-sectional

studies).

2. Building language learning assessment tools, specifically

in Arabic.

3. Building science-based holistic intervention programs.

4. Developing academic training workshops and programs

to for fostering language skills.

5. Investigating the application of academic knowledge in

the educational field, both by applying qualitative and

quantitative evaluation of language skills.
