As a Communication Skills Coordinator and Lecturer at Curtin University of Technology in Perth, Western Australia, I coordinate a team of teachers who provide communication skills units to more than 1500 first-year students each year across a range of faculties. I worked initially as a secondary English teacher, and then spent 15 years as an educational writer and curriculum developer in secondary and tertiary education sectors. I have a strong commitment to teaching writing, especially to encouraging students to write in clear, concise English. In my current position I have developed interests in promoting students’ understandings of the discourse of their disciplines, and in increasing information literacy skills among undergraduate students.
