Current teaching

This year (2007-2008), I am teaching the following modules:

CML1056 Core Concepts in Language Analysis
A level 1 module introducing concepts in and methods for studying language

CML3102 Writing Techniques
A level 3 module looking at how linguistic choices affect the interpretation of texts. Students apply these methods to their own writing as well as other texts

ELT4201 Grammatical Descriptions of English
A level 4 (MA) module looking at Chomskyan and Hallidayan approaches to grammar and considering how these might be relevant in language teaching

In April, I will be teaching a residential course on linguistics for A level students at Villiers Park with Graeme Trousdale

We ran this course for the first time last year. Further information here: the language detective
