She holds a PhD in English (Composition and Teaching English to Speakers of Other Languages) from Indiana University of Pennsylvania and an MA in Applied Linguistics and Teaching English to Speakers of Other Languages from Newcastle University. Elsherif has participated in many regional, national, and international conferences. She also has experience in teaching English in Libya and the United States of America.

As a Libyan teacher-scholar, her main role falls under two areas: teaching and research. In the field of teaching and learning, she has used modern teaching and assessment methods that empower students and lead them to creativity. She avoids the traditional pattern that relies on exams only and provides students with different forms of assignments that prepare them for their future tasks as English language teachers and enable them to face the professional challenges that they may face. She also aims to prepare them to be effective members of teamwork.

Elsherif believes in her important role in spreading awareness about quality and the importance of research in the advancement of education and the Libyan society. From this standpoint, she contributed to working with the team of the Research, Consulting and Training Department to raise the level and quality of research in the College of Education, Tripoli, and then in the University of Tripoli.

After transferring to university education and joining the English Language Department at the College of Education Tripoli, she taught several courses that aimed at developing the English language as well as courses that aimed at preparing qualified English language teachers. She also taught at universities and English language centers during her study I the US, one of which was Miami University Middletwon.

Elsherif enjoys teaching a wide range of courses. But what she enjoys the most are courses that are related to teaching writing and using technology in teaching and learning English.
