This recommendation was acted on, and a report on
academic staff development was prepared by a Working Party and published by the
Australian Vice-Chancellors’ Committee (1981). The Working Party recognized a
need to give greater attention to making the university environment more
receptive to professional development ideas. These ideas are,
essentially, those contained in its Recommendation 2:
·
a
programme of induction for new staff.
·
explicit procedures for
advising staff on their performance; and formal evaluation
programme for all staff.
To make the university environment more receptive,
the following mechanisms are advocated.
·
a review of appointment
and tenure conditions;
·
reduced loads for all
staff in the first year of their probation;
·
introduction of incentive
programmes or reward structures to encourage
effective teaching.
Two further recommendations are made to facilitate
the achievement of the receptive environment. These are recommendations
supporting staff development units and the role of the Australian
Vice-Chancellors’ Committee and the Federation of Australian Universities Staff
Associations in the formulation of salary policies.

Arabic to English (Arab Translators Network - Arab Professional Translators Society) English to Arabic (Arab Translators Network - Arab Professional Translators Society)
BA in English arts and education from Al-Azhar University, which is considered to be the first and the best university that is focused on Arabic and Islamic studies, what had helped me to have an excellent command of Arabic language.
Experience:
More than four years as a full-time freelancer English <> Arabic translator and desktop publisher. Throughout this period, I have been providing translation for reputable companies and agencies inside and outside Egypt in various fields.
Also worked a full-time in-house translator for a well-known company in the field of agriculture and veterinary. Translated many contracts, distribution agreements, documents, brochures, fliers, and leaflets of many products, which helped me to gain extra experience in translation especially when it comes to legal and veterinary documents.
More than that, I did lots of voluntary work for some well-known nonprofit organizations in Egypt and Arab countries and lately for World Health Organization “WHO” as a co-translator in its book “EMRO PARTNER IN HEALTH, 1949 - 1989” in which I was chosen as one of the best five translators worked on the book.
Specializations:
Although my university study was focused on linguistics, pedagogy and English arts, I have managed to acquire a great experience specially in veterinary and agriculture, law, IT and business.
Computer Skills:
I love learning everything new in computer and graphic designing industry. I almost spend all my spare time reading about new things and learning new applications.
Autodesk CorelDraw, AutoCad, 3d Studio Max, Chaos V-Ray (3d render engine).
Beside being a translator, I also do lots of graphic and website designing and 3d architectural visualization using 3d Studio Max and V-Ray and modeling many products for advertising firms.
Most of my translation projects are focused on technical, legal and business fields. Also did many websites and user manuals localization, promotional and sales translations and contracts.
Some of my recent translation projects:
Translation of health certificates and legal documents;
User manual of an international SIM card (Proofread and DTP).
Desktop Publishing:
My goal here is to help you translate and prepare your documents for printing and publishing. I can help you translate your documents then put them in a unique stunning layout. With the state of the art in graphic designing and desktop publishing industry mixed with an artistic touch, I can create unique designs from scratch or even localize your current layouts or designs.
With a complete and rigid understanding of font issues, I managed to complete all my desktop publishing project exactly as it should be even when the non-latin text is displayed or printed on a machine that doesn’t support right-to-left languages.
Some of my recent DTP projects:
User manual of an international SIM card (10 pages);
An international organization newsletter (15 pages);
Potato Agriculture newsletter (5 pages).
Thank you very much for taking the time reading my profile and it would be a great pleasure to hear from you. Please don't hesitate to contact me for translation and DTP samples.
