Brief Statement of research work
My research philosophy is grounded in the conviction that language is both a cognitive system and a social construct, and thus must be explored through interdisciplinary, data-driven, and context-sensitive approaches. With a PhD in Applied Linguistics and over a decade of experience in higher education, I view research not only as a means to generate knowledge but also as a tool for social inquiry, pedagogical innovation, and critical engagement with language use in real-world contexts.
