Nice to meet you in the course, Janet. It’s a pleasure to connect with someone whose work reflects such a strong commitment to English language teaching and applied linguistics. Your experience across both secondary and university levels brings a valuable perspective, especially in understanding how learners’ needs evolve over time. It’s also impressive to see your involvement in teacher training and collaboration with programs like the British Council, which speaks to the impact of your work beyond the classroom.
Your focus on supporting both teachers and learners aligns closely with the idea of transformative education, where growth happens not just through content, but through meaningful engagement and empowerment. It’s clear that your work is grounded in purpose, and that comes through strongly in your introduction.
