Armine Vahanyan

Adjunct Lecturer

I am a linguist with my major in Russian and English Languages. Since 2003, I have been working as a university language instructor and a lecturer at various universities of Armenia. In 2021-2022, as a Fulbright Visiting Scholar, at the University of Arizona, US, I conducted research on curriculum development methodology with regard to language programs at US HEIs.

I am author of over 25 scholarly articles and a co-author of a CLIL university textbook of English (Psychology in English, volumes 1-3) and a Russian Language university textbook.

In teaching, I always try to follow the Chinese proverb Give a man a fish and you feed him for a day. Teach a man to fish and you feed him for a lifetime.

Associate Professor (since 2018); PhD in Linguistics (2014), Yerevan State Linguistic University, Armenia; Joint BA & MA in Russian and English Languages (2002), Yerevan State Linguistic University, Armenia
