Associate Professor of TESOL Education, The University of Queensland

Profile Articles Activity

I received education in English literature, applied linguistics and TESOL (Teaching English to Speakers of Other Languages). I consider TESOL my home. My research straddles global language testing, language in education policy, and diversity of Englishes. I have pursued my research within the Asia Pacific region, with a particular focus on developing societies. In examining the role of English, other languages and English language testing for individual mobility and societal development, I have foregrounded inequity, inequality and exclusion. I use qualitative, quantitative and textual data. My work is underpinned by critical perspectives, my multidisciplinary backgrounds and my life experiences as a confused transnational.
