Senior Lecturer in TESOL (Teaching English to Speakers of other Languages)
I am Deputy Programme Leader for MA TESOL and part of the Professional Development Team in the Faculty of Education and Society.
My principal role at the University is as Deputy Programme Leader and Senior Lecturer for the Masters in TESOL for both on-campus and distance learning modes. This includes responsibility for overseeing the admissions to the course.
TESOL is the study of teaching people how to teach English to Speakers of other Languages. It includes practical and theoretical study of pedagogy and applied linguistics in this growing field.
Since joining the University in 2008, I have enjoyed a range of roles in the Faculty of Education as a Programme Leader, Module Leader and Lead Lecturer across subjects in English for Academic Purposes and TESOL. I was also the Director of EAP in London, setting up English Language provision at the inception of our London campus. Recently I have diversified into supervising dissertations and assignments for MA Education and distance learning teacher training. I regularly contribute to the Secondary Education ITT as a School Liaison Tutor and Assessment only Route to QTS assessor. I was also the Programme Leader for PGCE Design and Technology.
Previously, I was a secondary school Head of Art and Design and still maintain a research interest in visual art and art education. My doctoral research investigates Visual Multimodality in English Language Pedagogy.
