Hello and welcome!

My name is Dr Kate Whisker-Taylor, I am a Senior Lecturer in Linguistics and the Programme Lead for Linguistics and TESOL. I wanted to welcome you to York St John University, the School of Education, Language and Psychology and your chosen degree programme. We have a number of different resources and activities for you to look at within these welcome pages that will give you an idea of what you will be studying, our teaching team and what it is like to be a student on our programmes. I am looking forward to meeting you all in September.

Very best wishes,

Kate
