I am a Teaching Fellow in the department of English Language and Linguistics. My research incorporates corpus linguistic methodology and is primarily concerned with irony, humour and language creativity.

Biography

Before working at ELAL, I taught English in a wide variety of contexts, including at the Birmingham International Academy. I’m particularly interested in technology use in the classroom and increasing learner autonomy and motivation.
