Amal has a Master’s Degree in Applied Linguistics from The University of Melbourne, Australia. Currently, she is a PhD student at Manchester Metropolitan University, United Kingdom. Her research explores how language variation is influenced by social factors (such as gender, tribalism, and age), educational factors (such as type of schooling and years of English education) and ideologies (such as standard English, English correctness and native-speakerism). It also explores how language variation represents some aspects of speakers’ social identity.
