- Riaz Hussain, writing as Riaz Laghari, is an English educator, linguist, researcher, and academic writer based in Islamabad, Pakistan. This blog shares practical insights on English language teaching (ELT), linguistics, academic writing, higher education, scholarships, translation studies, and AI in education.
Lecturer in English: "Learn to live, live to learn" sums up my life philosophy. I regard education as an infinite process, with special interests in language, ELT, and Pakistani political discourse. Through my work, I hope to inspire in my students a similar love of learning and a curiosity about the world. I explore these themes on my blog at http://riazlaghari.blogspot.com.
