个人简介
I joined UNNC in May 2009 and started on the Teacher Training Programme for teachers from Ningbo to begin with.Currently I am on the EAP programme offered to post graduate students by CELE.
I have been an English teacher for almost 21 years.Prior to joining UNNC in May 2009, I worked in Malaysia at University Tunku Abdul Rahman (UTAR).I taught EAP courses for Science and Engineering students mainly.I was also the Unit leader for English for Science course.In addition I have served all the faculties as an EAP lecturer at UTAR.
I have a Teaching certificate for Primary school education – English with distinction which was later upgraded to diploma level.I hold a Bachelor’s degree in Education – TESL and Master’s degree in Education – TESL with distinction.
I am interested in exploring how emerging technologies, especially online interactive language activities can assist in the acquisition of learning and improving English Language.
