TEACHING & RESOURCES
Language teaching across disciplines and contexts
My teaching brings together language development, disciplinary communication and linguistic study. Across university and professional contexts, I have taught English from intermediate to advanced levels, designed courses and materials, and worked with students preparing to use the language in academic, technical and educational settings.
At university level, this work has ranged from academic and professional English for engineering students to the history, vocabulary and grammar of English for future language teachers. Although the subjects and student groups differ, the underlying concern remains the same: helping learners understand how language works and use it with greater precision, independence and awareness of context.

Teaching approach
My teaching combines explicit attention to language with sustained practice in meaningful academic and professional tasks. Course design is adapted to the students’ disciplinary context, while assessment is used not only to measure performance but also to guide revision and further learning.
Language in context
Grammar and vocabulary are connected to the situations, disciplines and communicative purposes in which students use them.
Active language use
Students learn through discussion, explanation, presentation, analysis and the production of extended spoken and written work.
Feedback and revision
Assessment is treated as part of the learning process, with feedback informing subsequent practice and improvement.
Critical use of digital tools
Digital and AI-supported tools are approached as resources whose usefulness, limitations and effects on learning must be examined rather than assumed.
