Short presentation
As a lecturer at The Language Workshop, I tutor students who want help with academic English. I also teach evening courses in English oral proficiency for international students, both in Uppsala and at Campus Gotland. My colleagues and I give workshops for teachers on different aspects of reading and writing pedagogy, such as providing valuable feedback on student texts.
