As an EAP lecturer, I have taught various subjects to foundation, undergraduate, and postgraduate students in Higher Education over the past 12 years. Before this, I gained valuable experience teaching ESOL in Further Education for three years. My teaching responsibilities include teaching, Academic English Foundation, Developing English Language Skills, Academic Skills Development, Academic Skills Training, and the Integrated Project. Currently, I am the coordinator of the Academic Skills Development Unit and deliver continuous professional development sessions. My Ph.D. is in Applied Linguistics, and I am a Senior Fellow of the Higher Education Academy (SFHEA). Aside from my academic career, I am proud to be the founder and editor of the CEFL Journal, where I publish articles on teaching.
