Introduction (from LinkedIn):

There is nothing better than seeing how international experiences change the lives of my students. I launched and managed an international exchange programme between colleges in the UK and Japan. Moreover, I prepare students for studying abroad through increasing their confidence to communicate and discussing intercultural issues with them. At Kansai University, I have the pleasure of being a member of the Study Abroad Committee in the Faculty of Foreign Language Studies, so I can help students to achieve their dreams overseas.

My Ph.D. research explored inter-cultural issues that arose following the introduction of a communicative curriculum, which required new approaches in teaching and learning English. For my present research, I have been awarded a "Grant-in-Aid for Scientific Research" (Kakenhi) to study factors that influence Japanese students' capacity to speak English.

Dr. Jennifer Jenkins is the Emeritus Professor of Global Englishes and Founding Director of the Centre for Global Englishes at Southhampton University.

Introduction: (from ResearchGate)

My research has always focused on Global Englishes, and more specifically on English as a Lingua Franca. Initially, I investigated the contribution of accommodation to achieving intelligibility in ELF interactions, and subsequently explored attitudes towards ELF communication. For many years, my interest has been in the role of ELF in higher education, the subject of both my 2014 monograph, English as Lingua Franca in the International University, and the volume I recently co-edited with Anna Mauranen (now in press) on the findings of our project, 'Linguistic Diversity on the EMI Campus'. I am currently directing a new project, 'ELF and dis/empowerment in international education'.

Intro: (From University of Essex)

I received my PhD in English Language Teaching and MA in Teaching English as a Foreign Language from the Department of Language and Linguistics at the University of Essex. I also have a CELTA qualification at Pass Grade A and a BA in English Language and Literature from Aristotle University of Thessaloniki, Greece. In 2006-2007 I studied French-Greek translation at the University Paul Valery Montpellier III, France.

My research is concerned with the affective dimension of language learning and teaching, particularly language learner anxiety and language teacher emotions. I am currently looking at how and why teachers undertake emotional labour in their daily practice, through analysing narrative accounts and seeking to understand how they capitalise on the different emotional experiences they encounter as part of their role.

Intro (from LinkedIn):

As someone who didn’t enjoy school all that much in my teens, it may seem odd that education is now my biggest passion. This passion, which is driven by my fervent belief that it is only through education, or more specifically, learning, can one expand their potential and reach greater heights, has led me on a journey to research and explore what it is that really helps people learn.

A product of a decade’s experience in the health and fitness industry, where I honed my communication, self-management, and interpersonal skills, and a decade’s experience as a teacher and mentor, where I continue to develop my leadership, mentoring, and creative thinking skills, I have been very fortunate to learn from a range of great people in five different countries.

This experience, coupled with my role as a researcher and Ph.D. student, has given me a unique insight into the way people truly learn and grow – knowledge I enjoy sharing with my students, friends, and family.

When I am not studying or helping people learn, then you will find me at the gym or at a local coffee shop enjoying my other passion – coffee.

Feel free to connect with me if you are passionate about education and learning, or if you just have some questions about education or learning in general. I’d be happy to hear from you.
