Biographical
Note
I studied English Language and
Literature at Edinburgh University before working for fifteen years as
a teacher of English and a Head of Department in several schools in the
Edinburgh area. I returned to part-time academic study on a Masters' Programme
in 1992 in Edinburgh University when I joined the School of Education as
a Lecturer in Language Studies, and completed the MEd in 1996. My PhD,
completed in 2004, investigated the listening practices of pupils and the
teaching practices of teachers within the socio-cultural contexts of secondary
school English classrooms. I am the Course Organiser for the PGDE
(Secondary) English Course, Course Organiser for the Master's Course
'Language Learners, Learning and Teaching' (a core course in the Master's
Programme MSc
in Education: Language - Theory, Practice and Literacy), and
I teach on several other Masters' courses. I am currently Depute Director
of Postgraduate
Studies and Co-coordinator of the
School's PhD Programme. For the past three years I have been involved
in a large European Union Interreg III project which established underlying
guiding principles for European Regional Colleges (ERCs).
