Biography

I joined the Department of Education in October 2014. I teach on the MA TESOL and MA in Applied Linguistics for (English) Language Teaching programmes. I was Deputy Programme Leader for MA TESOL from 2014 to 2018 and Director of Taught Masters (Admissions and Assessment) from 2018 to 2022. I supervise dissertations and theses in the area of TESOL.

Before joining the Department of Education, I worked as a Lecturer in Applied Linguistics and English Language Teaching at Anglia Ruskin University, Cambridge. While there, I contributed to undergraduate and postgraduate courses in language teacher education and developed and led an MA TESOL and Materials Development programme.

Before my lectureship in Cambridge, I worked at the Institute of English and American Studies at the University of Gdansk, Poland, where I was involved in BA and MA EFL teacher education programmes.

I have an MA (English Philology) and a PhD (Linguistics/TEFL) from Adam Mickiewicz University, Poland, and an MA (Applied Linguistics and TEFL) from the University of Portsmouth, UK. I am a CELTA teacher and a CELTA teacher trainer. I have been a Fellow of the Higher Education Academy since 2013.

I am Editor-in-chief of The European Journal of Applied Linguistics and TEFL.

Since I arrived at the University of York, I have taught on the following modules:

  • TESOL Methods
  • Teaching and Learning Language
  • Language Curriculum Design and Evaluation
  • Evaluating TESOL Practice
