semantics and pragmatics. Our work in Language Teaching and Language
Teacher Education includes pedagogic beliefs and their effect on
pedagogic change; reflexive commentaries on research methods;
professional development and reflective practice; factors in the decline
of modern foreign language teaching in UK schools; and the student
experience of Higher Education.



The post



We are looking for academic leadership in this area: someone who can
lead our English Language provision which is aimed at native speakers of
English (not to be confused with our 'English Studies' provision for
non-native speakers and our 'Learn English' commercial EFL and EAP
courses). We want someone who can strengthen what we already do and will
also develop new courses and new fields of research.
