York English as an Additional Language YEAL
Our Community Language School CLS
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.
