Biography
I am a PhD researcher and a PGTA in the IOE Centre for Applied Linguistics. I have ten years' experience teaching adults in London, specialising in teaching ESOL-Literacies courses in community settings. My research interests stem from my experience working with plurilingual adults from oral cultures.

Research Summary
My PhD research focuses on the plurilingual oral expertise of adult refugees in London who are new to print literacy. I am interested in co-constructing insights regarding print literacy acquisition with adults who have grown up in oral societies. Based on participants’ perceptions of their learning strategies, my study aims to contribute to theoretical understanding relating to adults’ experiences of integrating print into their plurilingual oral knowledge systems.
