Profile
Member of the Language Zone team, providing high quality support for language learners.
My role allows me to clone myself into a language teacher, a participatory artist and a researcher. Implementing arts-led methodologies, I forge inclusive environments where learners (co-)navigate the unfamiliar worldviews of English, while bringing in their own cultural identity. My workshops are thematically diverse, and draw upon experiential learning and learner motivation theories; I graft LZ literary resources with self-designed material, and introduce fun drama games which I adapt to my audience’s needs.
