I am a Language Development Tutor at the Language Centre based in High Holborn. This role is as an English for Academic Purposes (EAP) tutor to facilitate, encourage and develop communication in both written and spoken form within an academic context for international students, who speak English as another additional language. I have supported students across all college sites (although, as yet, I haven’t been to Wimbeldon!) Currently, I am mainly based at Camberwell College of Art.
I am looking forward to researching and exploring pedagogy as well as how theory and policy can be applied to continue to support international students as they navigate art and design learning whilst developing academic English language skills. One interest area in particular is how academic formative assessment can be seen as part of the creative process for international art and design students. In addition, I am also keen to continue to look at how international students can be orientated into a UK university art and design teaching and learning context.
