BALEAP COMMISSIONED REPORT
In October 2020, BALEAP (British Association for Lecturers of English for Academic Purposes) put out a call for research proposals to investigate the impact of Covid-19 on the UK EAP sector. Dr Emma Bruce and I responded to the call and won the funding to conduct the study. We used a mixed methods approach, including an online questionnaire and interviews to better understand the challenges and opportunities that the pandemic brought to EAP managers, administrators, coordinators, curriculum writers and teachers. Find the report here.
LANGUAGE CAFÉ ONLINE
My blog at www.languagecafe-online.com provides posts about places, people, culture, learning methods, teaching and language.
Here is a link to one article I wrote on the Language Café blog entitled 'A Weekend in the Basque Country' which provides factual information about Biarritz and Bilbao and about the Basque country integrated into a story of our weekend visit as a family.
ONLINE MAGAZINE ABOUT LIVING IN FRANCE
I researched and contributed articles to www.french-property.com which helps inform people about various aspects of life in France for those planning to move there and those who already have.
