English Language Teaching

Here are some professional I ams:

I am a teacher who works with children from the ages of 3 – 10 years.

I am a teacher trainer.

I am a writer for educational publishers.

I am an active volunteer in language teacher associations in Portugal and the UK.

I have recently completed my PhD in teacher education and language didactics, with the support of a research grant from FCT. I still consider myself a researcher, it's a bug that never leaves you!

I am really interested in using picturebooks in ELT, in understanding better how to teach and learn a language in the early years, in using stories in ELT, in assessment in ELT, and in materials design.
