Profil (in Englisch)
I moved to Switzerland in 2000 where I continued my ELT career. Having realised there was still so much to learn, I decided to pursue a BA (Hons) and then a MEd in ELT from the University of Manchester. I have taught in many different contexts (primary, secondary, tertiary and private sectors) and courses including GE, BE, ESP, YL and the whole suite of Cambridge Exams prior to becoming a teacher trainer and educator at the FHNW.
My ELT professional and personal interests lie in effective and affective ELT approaches. Particularly, I am interested in methodologies and approaches that embrace a more creative approach to language teaching and learning. I am also co-ordinator for ETAS’ (English Teacher's Association Switzerland) Swiss Cantonal Teacher & Teacher Educator SIG. The aim is to create a thriving, inspirational community which unites teachers and teacher educators in the cantons of Switzerland.
