Assistant Professor
Fatma Faisal Saad Said is Assistant Professor in Applied Linguistics at Zayed University, UAE. She currently teaches and contributes to courses in the Language Studies and Educational Studies (Applied linguistics) departments and is presently working on a project that explores Emirati family language policies, ideologies, and language management. Fatma obtained her PhD in Applied Linguistics at Birkbeck, University of London (2015). Prior to joining Zayed University, she was a postdoctoral researcher at the University of York, UK (2015-2018) and then Associate lecturer in Linguistics at Goldsmiths, University of London (2018-2019).
Her research is centred within Sociolinguistics and Applied Linguistics and primarily focuses on the bilingualism of Arabic-English speaking children and their families. Fatma aims to understand why some children raised as bilinguals do not become bilinguals, whilst others do and what factors contribute to the learning/non-learning of languages within the home and educational domains. The interdisciplinary issues of identity, agency, language development, language maintenance, language socialisation and family language policy inform her work. Additionally, she has an interest in how current research methodologies can be enhanced to support multilingual data collection, management, and analysis.
