Teaching

Since 2010, I have taught a wide range of BA- and MA-level courses on both micro- and macro-linguistic topics, as well as methodological developments and issues.

I have successfully supervised a number of BA- and MA-theses.

I have also participated in two interdisciplinary and applied teaching projects with a focus on “English Language, Literature, and Culture in Professional Domains” (2013-2015) and a follow-up project called ”The Marketplace of Words: Linguistics, Literature, and – Your – Career“ (2015-2016), both funded by the HHU.
