Mr. Saidur Rahman is working as an Assistant Professor in the Department of Arabic since 12th October 2010, with a research interest in the area of Modern Arabic prose, poetry and literary criticism. Prior to joining Aliah University in 2010 he served as an Assistant Professor in Arabic at Kaliachak College, Sultanganj, Malda under the University of Gour Banga from 8^th September 2008 to 11^th October 2010. My primary concern is to teach students Arabic language and make them fluent in spoken Arabic so that they can interpret simultaneously other languages especially English in to Arabic and vice-versa. Certainly it will help them to get jobs in various Multinational companies and Arab Embassies as well as Arab countries.
