学历
Ph. D. Education (Language Teaching)

个人简介
I completed a Ph. D. in Education from the University of Exeter in 2013. My research focused on the teaching of grammar and writing to English Language Learners using the techniques of visualization. I investigated the impact of using visuals and visual imagery in the teaching of grammar to develop writing skills in my classes. I have been actively engaged in teaching at undergraduate and postgraduate levels for the last 25 years. My teaching experience was enriched by the additional cultural and social experiences that I gained while living in countries such as Uganda, Saudi Arabia, the USA, the UK, and India.
I have also travelled to different countries to present scholarly papers at international conferences on different aspects of language teaching. Recently I attended the third international conference on Legitimate Code Theory (used as an analytical tool in Education) held in Johannesburg in July 2019. I have also presented papers on innovative methods in the teaching of grammar and writing to English Language Learners at various conferences on second language learning. I have served as a reviewer for the conferences organized by IAFOR (International Academic Forum).
Currently, I teach EAP to preliminary year students and serve as the Research Ethics Officer representing CELE. As part of ALDC, I also am involved in creating and teaching a writing course and workshop for doctoral students at UNNC. Prior to returning to UNNC, I worked for six years at Wenzhou-Kean University as an Assistant Professor of English Studies where I was actively engaged in research in the area of language teaching and have published a few papers in some regional journals. Currently, I am working on a book chapter to be published by UNNC. My research interests are mainly on teaching writing, providing effective written feedback, visualization, business Writing in English, and English for Specific Purposes.
