……………………………..……
Teachers, in the present world context of anxiety, racism, and injustice, should play their roles as intellectual sources of critical awareness, attitudinal change, and social disorder -- for uprooting any sources of hegemonic ideas, condescending looks, Hitlerian outlooks, oppression, corruption, and destruction from among their societies. Teachers are, thereby, AGENTS OF CHANGE and development. Hence the very need for redefining and the necessity of realising 'teaching' as a complicated 'political process', if we want to contribute to world peace, the ultimate dream of humanity today.

Sub: Applying for a Job, preferably, as a full-time lecturer/researcher/writer
Dear Sir/Madam,
I have a PhD in Teaching English to Speakers of Other Languages (TESOL) from Mysore University, India. I am interested in applying for a position as a full-time lecturer, researcher, or writer at your prestigious University/Institute/Company/Office/School. Please see my CV enclosed.
I have to my credit 14 years experience in English language study and English language teaching both in Iran and overseas. I have conducted workshops for (language) teachers. I am a member of ELTeCS, British Council, England, and ELTAI, India.
My research foci are on various facets of Teaching Methodology and Applied Psycholinguistics, particularly with reference to the context and the process of learning/living. Other areas of my interest involve two pivotal strands of ELT in today-world context: Online teaching programmes and teacher training courses. Sometimes, i also entertain myself by carrying out research on reading comprehension and writing, especially with reference to their respective strategies. Translating didactic theories into pedagogical skills is also among my favourite exercises. But transforming my ideology/philosophy into hypotheses, theories, and instructional methods and even approaches is what really charms me (see my first article). Presenting my articles at national and international symposia and journals is another pleasing knowledge-producing activity for me.
Most of my pen products have been on issues like history of ELT, task/learner/learning-centred instruction, on-line (language) education, EFL/ESL teacher education, pedagogy of the oppressed, critical thinking, philosophies behind politics of educational systems, multicultural education, and intercultural communication and world peace. Apart from the articles i have succeeded to launch/present, i have already finalised nine books, in addition to more than 15 articles. And at present, i am looking for Publishers who are willing to help me introduce these children of mine to the world.
I hope my professional background, my deep enthusiasm for research, teaching, writing, and working and flourishing in a team, my desire for contributing to ‘global peace’, and, of course, my plans for developing your esteemed (English) Department/Institute could motivate you to consider my request. I would welcome the opportunity to discuss matters of your interest in person, at a face-to-face interview. It would be my pleasure to meet you. Should you want to meet me, please let me know through your friends. I have no access to my e-mail boxes or any other devices for communication!
Thanking you for your time and consideration.
Faithfully yours,
Seyed Mohammad H. Hosseini,
PhD (TESOL), Mashhad, Iran c.CV
