Yasser
Al Tamimi, Ph.D.
Assoc. Professor of English
Curriculum Vitae
Yasser Al Tamimi, Associate Professor of English at Alfaisal University in
Riyadh, Kingdom of Saudi Arabia, received his PhD in Linguistics in 2002
from the University of Reading, United Kingdom. His primary concern in the
dissertation was linguistic variations and the challenge they pose to
linguistic theory. After revealing some explanatory inadequacies in a number
of linguistic theories, Al Tamimi developed a Multiple-Trace- based proposal
to account for the linguistically unconditioned variability he found in the
casual speech of the East- End of London and in Southern British Standard.
Joining the Department of English Language and Literature at Hashemite
University/ Jordan, Al Tamimi taught a number of linguistic courses,
including phonetics and phonology, morphology, syntax, semantics,
sociolinguistics, psycholinguistics, in addition to the communication skills
courses; viz., listening comprehension, reading comprehension, technical
writing, advanced writing and research writing. During 2009-2011 at the
College of Languages and Translation of King Saud University, he taught
different translation courses in the fields of Medicine, Engineering,
Business, and Law (among other fields), and supervised Students' translation
projects in different academic domains.
Al Tamimi assumed a number of academic responsibilities at the Hashemite
University, including Head of Department of English Language and Literature
(2003-2006), Director of Program for Literature and Cultural Studies
(2003-2006) , and founder and Director of the university Language Center
(2005- 2008). He was also elected Secretary and Publicity Officer for the
Association of Professors of English Language, Literature and Translation at
Arab Universities (APETAU) 2003-2006.
In the areas of his research interest (phonetics, phonology, morphology,
syntax, reading, writing and translation, in addition to speech pathology
and physics of speech), Al Tamimi has published original research work in
outstanding international Journals (e.g. Poznan Studies in Contemporary
Linguistics, Poland; Language, Society and Culture, Australia, Journal of
Language and Linguistic, UK, and the International Journal of Arabic-English
studies (IJAES)). He has also served as a reviewer for a number of national
and international journals.
Dr. Al Tamimi participated in a number of national, regional and
international conferences and seminars on different linguistic and cultural
themes, and served on a large number of academic committees.
