个人简介
I have been teaching in China since 1999, firstly at Dalian University of Foreign Languages from 1999-2005 where I worked in the Continuing Education Program teaching Oral English and later at Dongbei Finance and Economics University where in addition to teaching I held the administrative post of Liaison for Foreign Staff, the first non-Chinese to hold an administrative position in that university. I started in 2008 as an EAP tutor in The University of Nottingham Ningbo China’s Centre for English Language Education (CELE). I have been an assistant to the Senior Tutor for Oral Communication Studies and worked on the department’s Curriculum Committee where I helped develop and refine CELE curriculum and assessments. I am now working in Coaching and Support (CAS) which offers activities to strengthen students’ Academic English and study skills. I advise students one-on-one and in small groups, coach students helping them plan their studies, give workshops and develop materials and resources. I also co-lead the Dignity at Nottingham Network (DANN), a support group for student/staff complaints.
In addition to my time in China, I spent seven years teaching ESL in Spain and three years teaching English and Spanish in the United States.
I am particularly interested in English for Academic Purposes (EAP), motivation in language learning, curriculum/assessment development and mentoring and coaching.My personal interests include travelling, biking, cooking and philosophy.
