Education and Globalisation (Stage 2) , An Introduction to TESOL (Stage 2) and Education and Global Inequality (Stage 3).
Having lived abroad and taught students from culturally diverse backgrounds for many years, I am interested in all aspects of international education and lead an international field trip every year. As an English language educator for over 20 years, I am also interested in TESOL. I am currently undertaking doctoral work which focuses on the role of different types of vocabulary needed at undergraduate level study and how this links to academic achievement.
Recent research projects have centred on the internationalisation of higher education. Specifically, I am interested in how the needs of both European and international students can be met through various academic support mechanisms and inclusive teaching strategies.

When I am not reading and writing, I enjoy walking my dog Brian, horseriding lessons and going shopping with my daughters.
