Hello and welcome!

My name is Dr Mattia Zingaretti. I am Lecturer in Applied Linguistics and TESOL, and the Programme Lead for Linguistics and TESOL BA Degrees. 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,

Mattia

Before being appointed as Head of Learning, Teaching and Student Experience in the Business School, I was Head of Programme for English Language and Linguistics at YSJ for seven years. I have been teaching for 14 years, specialising in phonetics and phonology, and I still teach on the ELL programme. I'm specifically interested in regional variation and children's acquisition of their accent. I have just started a PhD in phonological acquisition at the University of York. My background in learning and teaching is that I was awarded an University (college at the time) fellowship in 2005, for my work embedding technical skills into teaching. I then became Senior Teaching Fellow for the Business School in 2010 which was connected to my work exploring the potential of new technologies to e-marking and feedback, with Mark Dransfield. I'm also a mentor and assessor for the University's dialogic route to HEA fellowship.
