个人简介
I joined UNNC in May 2009 and started on the Teacher Training Programme for teachers from Ningbo to begin with. Currently I am on the EAP programme offered to post graduate students by CELE.
I have been an English teacher for almost 21 years. Prior to joining UNNC in May 2009, I worked in Malaysia at University Tunku Abdul Rahman (UTAR). I taught EAP courses for Science and Engineering students mainly. I was also the Unit leader for English for Science course. In addition I have served all the faculties as an EAP lecturer at UTAR.
I have a Teaching certificate for Primary school education – English with distinction which was later upgraded to diploma level. I hold a Bachelor’s degree in Education – TESL and Master’s degree in Education – TESL with distinction.
I am interested in exploring how emerging technologies, especially online interactive language activities can assist in the acquisition of learning and improving English Language.
