About the author
Author and Educator, Marjam B. Karapetian has developed Bilingual Content Dictionaries and companion Glossaries based on the needs she identified while teaching her own English Language Learners. Marjam earned her M.A. in Bicultural Development and has a B.A. in Anthropology and English. Her Multi-Subject California credential, and CLAD certificate (for language acquisition) has enabled her to teach at many developmental levels, including the Gifted, within a variety of culturally diverse schools in Los Angeles and Northern California since the 1980s.
Recently, she taught English and Ancient History, as well as English as a Second Language in Northern California to students from different socio-economic groups, and educational backgrounds. After relocating back to Los Angeles, she taught ESL at a Charter School in LAUSD and has done private tutoring.
She wrote the dictionaries and glossaries for students, parents, and teachers in an effort to increase comprehension of core subjects and provide equal access to the curriculum.
