Mr. Shah

Mr. Shah is a graduate in English Literature & Linguistics, from the University of Peshawar, N-WFP, Pakistan. After completing his masters, he started teaching in the Department of English, Islamia College, at the University of Peshawar. His tribal background impelled him to serve in one of the government colleges of the tribal areas and he started teaching English as a subject and language at Govt. College LandiKotal, Khyber Agency, in the Federally Administrated Tribal Areas (FATA), Pakistan. In addition to English, he taught Pashto, there, as a volunteer.

After working for five years at the Govt. College LandiKotal, Mr. Shah was awarded the Fulbright Foreign Language Teaching Assistant Scholarship and taught Pashto in the Penn Language Center at the University of Pennsylvania in Philadelphia. While he was there, he worked on developing materials for teaching Pashto. He also worked for the Linguistic Data Consortium on a Pashto project and assisted the consortium in translation, web-scouting, NE tagging, and Pashto Grammar editing and developing.

Mr. Shah returned to Pakistan in 2007 and began teaching as a Lecturer in English at Kohat University of Science & Technology. The US Embassy gave him the project of developing the English language skills of students of tribal areas in Pakistan, and crystallizing their vision of cultures across the globe.

Presently, Mr. Shah is working as a lecturer in English and a coordinator at the Access English Scholarship Program at Kohat University of Science & Technology, Kohat, Pakistan.
