BIOGRAPHY

My name is Naila Kanwal Dar, and I have pursued an extensive academic journey in the field of Linguistics and Language. I earned my MPhil in Applied Linguistics from the University of Lahore, where I developed a deep understanding of linguistic theories, research methodologies, and language acquisition. Prior to that, I completed an MA in English Literature from the University of the Punjab, Lahore, which provided me with a strong foundation in literary analysis, critical theory, and the study of classical and contemporary works. I also hold a Bachelor of Education (B.Ed.) degree from Allama Iqbal Open University, Islamabad, which equipped me with pedagogical skills and insights into teaching practices. Additionally, I completed a Postgraduate Diploma in English Language Teaching (PGD-ELT) from the University of the Punjab, Lahore, further refining my expertise in language teaching methodologies, curriculum design, and the practical application of linguistics in the classroom. Currently, I am serving as a Lecturer in English at The University of Chenab, Gujrat. With over 7 years of teaching experience, I have worked as a Lecturer at the University of Central Punjab, the University of the Punjab, Lahore and ILM college. My academic and professional journey has equipped me with expertise in applied linguistics, literature, and teaching methodologies. I am passionate about creating an engaging learning environment that encourages students to excel in English language education.
