Nadia Hamrouni

Nadia has an M.A. & a Ph.D. in Second Language Acquisition and Teaching from the University of Arizona and an M.A. in Theoretical Linguistics from the University of Manouba, Tunisia. Nadia moved to Tucson in 2004 after receiving the Fulbright Scholarship. While at UArizona, she worked as an Arabic language teaching assistant at the Department of Near Eastern Studies (currently the School of MENAS). After seven years of residency in Tucson, Nadia went back to her hometown in Tunisia, where she assumed different positions as a Teaching Assistant of Linguistics at the Faculty of Arts and Humanities – University of Sousse, the Ecole Normale Superieure de Tunis and the Faculty of Humanities and Social Sciences – University of Tunis. She also served as the Director of the CET-Tunisia Study Abroad Program. Her latest position before joining the Instructional Technology team was a Director of the TESOL M.A. Program at the University of Tunis.

Nadia has always been interested in technology integration and LMSs. This interest grew further during the pandemic when she worked with colleagues and graduate students at the University of Tunis to increase the scope and maximize the efficiency of the University’s limited e-learning capabilities. Since then, Nadia has been fascinated with integrating the latest technologies with proven pedagogical frameworks to enhance the quality of LMS-based education.

Off the clock, Nadia loves gardening, pottery, and hiking with friends. She enjoys watching home makeovers and construction shows and loves caring and cooking for her family of 4 (little four-legged girl included).
