Profile
I joined Queen Mary in 2019 to lead the institution-wide Language Learning programme, which offers language modules for all QMUL students, staff, and members of the public.
My current teaching includes German language modules on the BA Modern Languages and Digital Media in Language Education on the MA TESOL. My past teaching experience covers, apart from language teaching, teaching intercultural communication and management at undergraduate and postgraduate levels, and teaching modules on working with international students and inclusivity on a PGCHE (Postgraduate Certificate in Higher Education) programme.
My administrative and management experience includes departmental and team leadership, leading programme development, and chairing examination boards and programme validation panels.
I have worked as an HE reviewer for the Quality Assurance Agency (QAA), have been external examiner at six UK universities, including being award external examiner, and deliver workshops for university staff on working with international students.
My first degree is from Karl-Franzens Universität Graz (Austria). I completed an MA in International Relations at the University of Nottingham, and a Doctorate in Education at UCL-Institute of Education.
My research interests include plurilingual and pluricultural approaches to language learning, mediation in language learning, and intercultural communication.
