I have reached the stage in my PhD where the literature review must be drafted and refined. The thesis explores how Arabic is taught and learned as a foreign language, and I am looking for someone who can take full ownership of this chapter, weaving together the most recent scholarship with classic foundational studies. Your task is to search, select and critically synthesise the relevant research, then craft a cohesive, well-argued literature review that aligns with UAE university standards. I will share my proposal, any previous notes and the required formatting template so you can follow institutional guidelines from the start. Proper academic tone, clear thematic organisation and meticulous referencing are non-negotiable. I am open to your recommendations on sub-topics and theoretical framing; once we agree on the outline, you will produce the chapter, integrate feedback from one revision round and deliver the final manuscript with a complete reference list in APA 7 format. Key deliverables: • Agreed outline with proposed headings and seminal sources • Full draft of the literature review, ready for feedback • Final, polished chapter with in-text citations and reference list If you have a strong record of academic writing in applied linguistics, Middle-Eastern studies or language education, I am keen to work with you.
