Ferdows went to elementary school in Tabriz and to high school back in Urmia. He joined the Air Force in 1971 and was trained as an aircraft technician in the United States and back home. In 1975, he took a teacher training course in the Iranian Air Force Language Training Center in the capital and soon began teaching general and technical English to military trainees including cadets and aviation students. He also authored two books – one on airplane structure and basic aerodynamics and another on Man’s history of flight. Later, he quit the military and was admitted to an open university in 1986 where he studied general and applied linguistics and majored in translation. He also completed an MA program in language teaching. For the past 30 years or so he has almost invariably been occupied in the business of teaching translation and language as well as translating and conducting amateur research work on a large number of his favorite subjects ranging from psycholinguistics to international relations, from economic geography to anthropology, and from globalization to disarmament.показать меньше
