Bahareh Malmir

Bahareh Malmir serves as an Instructor in the English Preparatory Division at Bogazici University, Turkey, bringing over 18 years of English language teaching experience since 2004. Her expertise spans institutional and university-level instruction across all proficiency levels, including specialized IELTS preparation and graduate-level English Education modules at Ilam University.

Her educational qualifications include:

• Ph.D. in English Language Education, Ilam University, Iran (2019)
• MA in English Language Education, Islamic Azad University, Tehran, Iran
• BA in English Language, Islamic Azad University, Hamedan, Iran

Dr. Malmir's research centers on discourse analysis with dual specializations: academic discourse focusing on rhetorical move structures and phraseological competence development for non-native writers, and media discourse examining sociopolitical representations—particularly the portrayal of Islam and Muslims in Western news media. Her methodological approach combines corpus linguistics with critical discourse analysis to investigate how linguistic realizations shape social reality.

Her publication trajectory (2012-2020) reveals three interconnected research strands: rhetorical move analysis in academic writing (40% of output), critical media discourse studies (30%), and language teacher education assessment tools (30%). This work bridges theoretical linguistics with practical EAP teaching applications, consistently targeting high-impact journals in applied linguistics.

Her scholarly recognition includes:

• Sabbatical Grant from Ilam University (2018) supporting international research at Bucharest University of Economic Studies
• Distinguished Doctoral Student Award from Ilam University's Office of Exceptional Talents (2018)

While her current advising activities aren't specified, her extensive teaching background includes mentoring graduate students in English Education at Ilam University. Her research has been supported through institutional grants including the aforementioned sabbatical award, with recent conference presentations indicating ongoing international collaboration in applied linguistics.
