Research interests
I have engaged in consultancy projects with The University of Tokyo to develop two Massive Open Online Courses (MOOCs) on EMI and Global Englishes (https://utokyo-ea.com/en) and was awarded an Invitational Fellowship for Research in Japan by the Japan Society for the Promotion of Science (JSPS) to develop this work. I have also engaged in several consultancy projects for the The British Council on various EMI projects. I am currently working with colleagues in Indonesia to develop a MOOC for the internationalisation of higher education in vocational universities.
I lead an online global network, Education, Language and Internationalisation network (www.elinet.org).
