Areas of expertise My expertise includes a range of professional fields in the area of English as a Foreign Language (EFL).

Specific research interests include language programme evaluation, language teaching and teacher development, and language learning explored from language socialisation and identity perspectives.

Since then I have directed the MSc in TESOL (formerly the MEd TESOL), coordinated the higher degree pathways in TESOL/Applied Linguistics (EdD and MPhil/PhD), and coordinated the Centre for Research on Language and Education (CREOLE). I have directed three externally funded research projects – TIR, Pro-CLIL and SAIL – and worked on two others: ELIP and SILP.

I currently direct InSITE, a study of teaching and continuing professional development in collaboration with ESOL and other teachers in the Further Education sector.
