Navin Singh
I am Dr. Navin Kumar Singh and I have over a decade of teaching experience, working in such varied roles as a literacy tutor in Nepal and as a university instructor in the United States. I have taught graduate and undergraduate courses, including Methods and Materials in TESOL, Foundations of Bilingual and ESL Instruction, Assessment of Bilingual and English Language Learners, and Introduction to Structured English Immersion (SEI) courses instructed in face-to-face, blended, and online formats. I worked more than a decade for Nepal’s Ministry of Education in different positions related to curriculum design, teacher education, training, supervision and professional development of English teachers. I also directed and coordinated many programs including teacher education, preparation, accreditation, and a joint literacy project of UNICEF and Government of Nepal. I have received professional development training in leadership, management and administration skills at home (Nepal) and abroad including India (my second home), Thailand and the United Kingdom. I also have participated in faculty development programs and attended praxis and professional seminars. I believe in all kinds of diversity, personal, social, economic, and cultural as I have experienced all sorts of diversity in my personal life as well as in my professional career. I believe that students may come from different backgrounds, but their potentials are limitless. I encourage my students to reflect through their own social and cultural lenses, whatever examples I use in my class. I strive to use technology-mediated instructions in my class to enhance students’ learning. My teaching, research, and service focus on social justice issues.
I have many publications, books, articles, chapters, and book reviews on various current themes and educational issues. I co-authored and edited a series of teacher training manuals for both face-to-face and distance/open learning mode of training. I also co-authored and edited a series of teachers’ guides for secondary English teachers of Nepal. I am serving as a reviewer for many international journals and professional associations. I have professional affiliations with Phi Delta Kappa, Golden Key International Honor Society, TESOL International Association, and American Educational Research Association.
I received my doctorate in curriculum and instruction with a specialization in TESOL and a second master’s degree in Teaching English as a Second Language (TESL) from Northern Arizona University. I completed a bachelor of arts in English language and literature and have a master’s degree in English education from Tribhuvan University, Kathmandu, Nepal. I also did coursework in higher education curriculum, computer assisted language teaching, cross-cultural studies and program evaluation. I did a qualitative study for my dissertation on Influences of Globalization on K-12 Language Teacher Education Programs with reference to the English-only Policy and the Common Core State Standards for English Language Arts/literacy, through a mixed methods research design. My research interests include globalization, higher education, bilingual and multicultural education, English language education, literacy/reading, multi-ethnic diversity, social justice and equity, human rights, child rights, indigenous peoples and communities, and other contemporary educational issues.
