Lecturer in TESOL at University of Glasgow, interested in spoken interaction, language assessment and feedback. Enjoys running, swimming, walking, music.
What does IELTS 6.0 mean? What would be useful to know if I’m teaching international university students admitted with a certain language test score?
This new article @HERDJournal might be a good new year read for you! https://t.co/KqXa1Pn2QU

Delighted that our paper on language assessment literacy from an IELTS project has been accepted in Higher Education Research & Development. It was a bumpy road but glad it’s found a great home! First time publishing in a #HigherEducation journal for me!
Our TESOL colleague @UofGEducation Steve @sbrowntweets is running in #GreatScottishRun 10k this Sunday to support the Scottish Refugee Council. Support him below and/or give him a cheer! https://t.co/gtOkMUoDsO
Had the pleasure to share the “worked examples” resource I developed with speaking examiners and examiner trainers from different parts of the world. Really pleased to see their enthusiasm! Hope they find the resource useful! https://t.co/8xPONHKnvV
YASUDA Sachiko, a #KobeU professor at the School of Languages and Communication, says she can learn a lot from her students' insights and feels that teaching and learning are inseparable. Read more about what her experience has taught her.
So happy to see the Handbook of SLA and Listening officially out! 👏🎉 Very grateful for the opportunity to share the stage with field experts, to discuss #listening and its teaching, learning and assessment. https://t.co/OBmsT9lucE

Feel free to re-post and spread the word 😃
Feeling deeply nourished by informal yet stimulating conversations with giants in the field at #LTRC2023, and also deeply rewarding when you see the next generation achieving great things while thanking you for lending them a shoulder to stand on.
Finished my presentation on learners’ engagement with feedback with @crella_beds and LTTC colleagues as part of the symposium on diagnostic feedback! Lovely to be presenting in this beautiful looking grand hall at The New Yorker hotel at the Language Testing Research Colloquium
@Carole_GU Invited presentation and panel discussion at the British Council’s New Directions in language assessment LATAM conference in São Paulo. Just about to fly back :)
Had no problem speaking in a huge auditorium back when I was 12. Now it's a much more nerve-wrecking experience😂Honoured to have been part of the #LanguageAssessmentLiteracy panel discussion though. It was a great Day 1 at #NewDirectionsLATAM
Excited to be presenting tomorrow on use of language test scores in university admissions, and join a panel discussion on #LanguageAssessmentLiteracy at New Directions LATAM 2023 in São Paulo. My first time visiting South America too!
