SYAZWAN NAIM IBRAHIM is a lecturer at Department of Arabic Language and Middle Eastern Languages, Faculty of Languages and Linguistics, Universiti Malaya, Malaysia. He attained his bachelor’s degree in Arabic Language and Linguistics from Cadi Ayyad University, Morocco, in 2019 and was awarded the Best Student title. Subsequently, he pursued a Master of Arts (Linguistics) at Universiti Malaya focusing on the pragmatics of implicature in the Quran. He is currently a Doctor of Philosophy (PhD) candidate at Universiti Sains Malaysia, specialising in interpreting studies. His research explores how interpreters manage (im)politeness in Arabic-English simultaneous interpreting, examining shifts in (im)politeness strategies under cognitive constraints. Grounded in pragmatics and interpreting studies theories, his work sheds light on the interplay between linguistic (im)politeness, cross-cultural mediation, and the real-time cognitive demands of interpreting.   He has taught many undergraduate level courses and is always interested in developing Arabic language mastery among students, especially in writing and speaking skills. He welcomes insights most notably from language service providers and other stakeholders in the translation and interpreting industry, to conduct research projects related to translation and interpreting ethics and practices, translator and interpreter training, as well as discourse in translation and interpreting. Furthermore, he is a certified translator at the Institut Terjemahan & Buku Malaysia/Malaysian Institute of Translation & Books (ITBM) and has done a great deal of translating, editing, and proofreading of theses, books, and articles. He has served as a bureau member of research, development, and publication in the Al-Arabiyyah organization.
