About Me

I'm a teacher from Singapore and I specialise in English Language education. But I also love teaching art lessons very much!I'm currently doing my part-time Masters in Education (English Language) and I hope to start on my doctoral after that ASAP. My interest is in Language Teacher Education and I hope to do research that shed some light on the practical issues in language teacher training. Hopefully my research can help to make a difference in language teachers' life. Language is the essence of life and a definite prerequisite for other subject areas.Work aside, I enjoy pilates, yoga and dancing of any kind. I'm pretty addicted to spa and facials.
