I have extensive experience in English Language Teaching (ELT; TESOL) both in Australia and overseas. I have managed language programs and developed professional development programs for language teachers. I transitioned to academia in 2011 and am currently focused on engaging with the ELT/TESOL sectors in Australia and overseas to contribute to the development of the capacity for quality English language education. I am especially concerned with supporting countries in becoming self-sufficient in providing quality English language education for their citizens.

I teach mainly in postgraduate Applied Linguistics and TESOL courses and am currently teaching:

• APPL8200 Linguistics and Language Teaching
• APPL8010 Genre, Discourse and Multimodality
• APPL8290 Evaluating Language Classroom Practice

I am currently the Director of Education for the Department of Linguistics, where I am responsible for providing departmental academic leadership to ensure academic integrity, enhance education quality, teaching performance and capability development of staff involved in the education mission.

I am also Course Director for Applied Linguistics and TESOL.
