Ms Karla De Lima Guedes BA, CELTA, MA

Senior Teaching Fellow

I am a Senior Teaching Fellow in the Academic Centre for International Students, part of the Faculty of Humanities at the University of University of Southampton.

I have been involved with teaching English as a second language since 2002, having worked in Brazil and studied Modern Languages at the State University of Paraiba (UEPB). Later I received my Bachelor’s Degree from the University of Leeds in Linguistics and Phonetics and RSA Cambridge CELTA at the Leeds Beckett University. I also hold an MA in Applied Linguistics for Language Teaching from the University of Southampton.

I specialise in EAP Listening and Speaking, and my other current interests lie in the role of linguistics and intercultural communication in ESL, language assessment, materials design and classroom learning.
