Adam Smith

Mr. Adam Smith joins PMU as an English Language Instructor in the Preparatory Program. He holds a Bachelor’s degree in Communication from Manchester Metropolitan University, and a Master’s degree with Merit in Linguistics from the University of Manchester.

 

With over 10 years of teaching experience, much of which has been at academic, industrial, and military institutions in Saudi Arabia, Mr. Smith’s areas of expertise include grammatical theory, language acquisition, and effective communication. His teaching philosophy is rooted in guiding students on how to think about language rather than just what to think. Through this, students engage in a logical inquiry of the material, elicit practical applications of the target language, and develop critical thinking skills.

 

As an Affiliate Member of the Chartered Institute of Linguists, Mr. Smith likes to remain up-to-date with current projects and research literature regarding the effective study and practice of language. In particular, he is interested in the various ways in which the classical study of language can synthesise with contemporary techniques, thus complementing the rich history of language learning with the advancements of our modern world. Furthermore, as someone who both professionally and personally advocates for the importance of education, he is committed to supporting a determined approach to life-long learning and wishes to contribute towards this at PMU through innovative collaborations and student mentorship.
