Teaching
I am currently coordinating, and teaching on, SFU’s Foundations of Academic Literacy Course FAL X-99. The course aims to help students to develop their academic literacy skills and to apply them in their different learning contexts.
I also teach a special topics course, Educ 712 Academic Writing for Graduate Students
I taught English for Academic Purposes at University College London full-time for 12 years. During that time I coordinated and taught on UCL’s Academic Writing programs for learners with English as an additional language.
