Forty-four years of Dr. El-Barouki's professional experience is foxed on foreign language teaching, curriculum development, testing, managing departments and evaluating faculty, at the following US educational institutions: University of Wisconsin-Madison; Temple University, Philadelphia, Pennsylvania; Monterey Peninsula College; Monterey Institute of International Studies and Language Institute-Foreign Language Center, Monterey, California. He retired as Professor in 2017. During his lifetime, Dr. El-Barouki has published articles and studies on topics in the fields of literature, cross-cultural communication, language and history in "Our World," "Our Heritage," "DOCO Newsletter," and "Dialog on Language Instruction."
