My areas of interest lie in language education at all levels. I
believe strongly in the benefits of teaching languages at primary
school, and am planning to introduce a course to enhance the
language skills of teachers delivering languages at that level. My
rôle within the department also includes work with Routes into
Languages (a government-funded scheme to encourage school
pupils to continue learning languages), which involves taking our
students out into schools or hosting events for school pupils at
YSJU.
I am a member of the Institute of Linguists
and within YSJ I sit on the Business School employability working
group.
This year I have attended professional
conferences on e-learning, teaching translation, language teaching,
transition, internationalization and teaching at Masters level.
