Name: Peter Bartlett
Qualifications: MSc Planning
Position: English Language Tutor
OVERVIEW
I am an English language teacher at CSUFT currently supporting the Master Translation & Interpreting (MTI) Postgraduate students in the FLC. In BCC, I teach ‘College English Listening & Speaking’ to the Undergraduate Freshmen.
I have a professional background in business and also city planning for which I spent a number of years working in this sector. In this context, the work entailed forecasting, modelling, data analysis and use of GIS skills.
With respect to teaching English, I have taught in several universities and for various types of students such as English majors and non-English majors at undergraduate and postgraduate levels.
TEACHING
My work for the MTI course covers different aspects of translation and interpreting where I will give lectures and host tutorial sessions focusing on language issues related to this discipline (e.g. translation and writing techniques, interpreting, language and pronunciation skills etc).
With respect to the BCC Oral English classes the main focus is on improving students’ confidence and competence in speaking and listening skills, as well as helping them prepare for the IELTS (English language) examination.
Although I have not formally developed these disciplines, my related research interests lie in the following fields:
· Pronunciation, Phonetics and Linguistics
· Language Evolution and Development
· History, Culture and Language
