Teaching Interests

As Joint Director of the BSc(Hons) Speech & Language Therapy, I have shared responsibility with my co-director Karen Bunning for developing the course curriculum for this degree, which took its first cohort of students in September 2006. Karen and I were delighted to be the joint recipients of a Teaching Excellence Award in 2006 for our work on the degree. My teaching particularly focuses on communication and language sciences, psycholinguistics and cognitive aspects of communication.
