I teach Roskilde University staff professional English. I cover all types of staff and all proficiency levels. On request I develop specific seminars for specialised staff, for example laboratory staff, who need to communicate succinctly safety procedures in the lab.

In addition I offer coaching sessions for individual members and small groups of academic staff.

Lastly, I collaborate with two professional language consultants, who translate and/or revise a variety of texts produced by Roskilde University.

I have an MA from 1986 in English and Foreign Language Teaching and Learning, and from 2000 a PhD in linguistics (applied), both degrees from University of Southern Denmark. In my thesis I synthesised research in and around L2 reading, and the empirical study dealt with how young adult native speakers of English with good L1 reading skills develop L2 reading skills in Danish. My publications include a number of articles about theory and practice in L2 reading. My current research interests include L2 reading and writing.

Since 1986 I have held several project and part time teaching positions at University of Southern Denmark, a position as assistant professor at the English Department, University of Aarhus, and educational head of department at Ballerup Language Centre. I have also held multiple courses and seminars for a variety of teaching staffs.

To foreign students and employees at Roskilde University I

·  teach Danish as a second language.

·  Offer courses in internationalization and subjects related to cultural encounters and intercultural learning.

·  Offer courses in problem-oriented project work and group work.

·  Offer further training courses in cultural pedagogy and conflict management in relation to cultural encounters.

·  Together with colleagues I also design the introductory course for the new international students at RU and the summer courses for EILC and Erasmus students and students with a cultural scholarship

For the past 11 years I have been working and teaching within the fields of culture, language and communication and have produced both short films, documentaries and teaching material.

My current main interest is questions related to learning development, intercultural competences, – learning and conflict management. I work with implementation of the Bologna Process and develop courses and methods that can make it easier to international employees and students to act in cross-cultural work and study communities. Asia has a particular interest and I currently attend BA programme in Asia studies at institute for cross-cultural and regional studies at Copenhagen University.
