ABOUT ME
My name is Abdulrahman /ʕbda’rʌħman/ Almalki, and I am a lecturer in applied linguistics at King Saud bin Abdulaziz University for Health Sciences (KSAU-HS). My teaching and research center on how learners develop literacy and critical language skills through collaborative language instruction.
Over the past five years, I have taught academic writing, L2 reading, and oral skills for beginning, intermediate, and advanced-level learners with the aim of helping them strengthen their academic language production and reading comprehension in L2 contexts.
”You are a good teacher and a good mentor. You inspired me to think about my writing several times and I enjoyed writing after getting your feedback. I will be grateful to you throughout my life because you taught me to write something. I have learned to express my thoughts in a structured way.”

”He made reading classes fun and easy to understand. Before this class, I struggled with reading complex texts in English, but his patience helped me improve. He always gave me extra help when I needed it.”
- Student C
”Mr. Almalki always gave me feedback that helped me improve my writing. He took the time to help me see my strengths and weaknesses, and this made a big difference in my progress.”
