I currently convene stages 4 and 7 and teach on stage 5. I tend therefore to teach all years on our undergraduate programmes. I enjoy each module equally but for different reasons (focus on grammar, student interaction and reactivity, cultural discoveries, lexical acquisition, learning skills, etc...)
I am also involved in the Residence Abroad Portfolio (our assessment for students on our programmes where a period of residence abroad is compulsory), and participate on our research skills and final year dissertation modules.
After graduating in English and Anglo-American civilisation and literature from Bordeaux University, I took a Masters in FLE (français langue étrangère) at La Sorbonne University, Paris and did a PGCE at Homerton College, Cambridge.
I then came to Southampton University to work on a Master of Philosophy in Second Language Acquisition, Linguistics (awarded in 2003) and I started working as a French language Teaching Fellow soon after. I am now a Principal Teaching Fellow and keep enjoying working with Undergraduates, as well as supervising Postgraduate students working in the Second Language Acquisition area of Linguistics.
