Biography

As part of the English language teaching community, his focus is on public spaces for exploring teacher identity and development. These primarily include spaces like #tleap (bit.do/tleap), 4CinELT, and IATEFL Teacher Development Special Interest Group. As a university EAP instructor, his main area of interest is collaborative and cooperative intensive reading. This manifests itself mostly through his work on the Critical Reading & Writing and Information in the Digital Era courses, and through authoring Academic Reading Circles.
