About me

I am a Lecturer of Education (TESOL) and coordinate the MSc TESOL (Online) programme. I teach across our online and on-campus TESOL Master's programmes and carry out research in corpus linguistics and discourse analysis.

I joined 麻豆传媒AV in October 2022 from the University of Birmingham, where I was based for several years and most recently coordinated the development of a new TESOL microcredential. Previously, I was part of the team developing the CLiC Web App, a corpus tool for studying patterns in literary texts at Birmingham’s Centre for Corpus Research. I have also worked at the University of Bath’s Department of Education, as part of their TESOL team.

My research interests span applied linguistics, corpus linguistics and digital humanities, and discourse analysis. My work has focused on analysing patterns in surveillance discourses through corpus linguistic methods. I am also interested in empowerment and creativity in educational and wider discourses, as well as applications of corpora and data-driven learning. While my research has been interdisciplinary, I have a strong research background in corpus linguistics.
