Dr Sadeem Ibn Alameer
Sadeem was a Ph.D. student in Applied Linguistics at the University of Birmingham from Spring 2020 until Spring 2024.
She holds a Bachelor’s degree in English Language and Literature with Second-Class Honors and a Master’s degree in Linguistics with First-Class Honors, both from Imam Mohammad Ibn Saud University (IMSIU), Saudi Arabia.
Sadeem's research interests include data-driven learning, learner corpus research, second language acquisition, and computer-assisted language learning (CALL). For her Ph.D., she conducted an exploratory corpus-based study on Arab EFL learners' usage of phrasal verbs. Furthermore, she carried out a classroom intervention study to compare the effects of implicit and explicit uses of corpus-based activities on the development of phrasal verb knowledge among Saudi learners of English.
Sadeem is now again working as a Lecturer in the College of Languages and Translation at IMSIU, Saudi Arabia; her PhD studentship was funded by the same institution.
