Jan O’Driscoll LJMU International Study Centre Head of Centre

“ I have an undergraduate degree in Social Sciences, a teaching qualification, and a Masters in Applied Linguistics. I’ve been teaching for seven years. The way that we teach here is what we call the ‘communicative approach’ to language teaching. There are certain strategies that we use in the classroom to get the students to communicate and use language. One of the key things we do is try to get students to think critically because that’s key to going into academia. The ISC is an extremely enabling environment because we have an open door policy where students can come and speak to teachers at any time.”

Corina Doran Head of English

“ I have a BSc and PhD in Physics. I’ve studied the PGCE as well. I worked in industry and a lab and did research. I wanted a new challenge so I’ve got into teaching. I’ve been teaching for three years and find it really enjoyable. My typical lesson usually has a little bit of theory followed by practice questions. Sometimes we go to the IT room where we can do activities and online experiments. We also sometimes go to the labs at the University.” Dr Mark Watts Physics and Maths teacher

“ I have an MSc in Science Communication in addition to all my teaching qualifications. I’ve been teaching since 2001.

The most satisfying aspect of my job is watching students grow. They are nervous, anxious and not confident in their own abilities at the beginning, but by the end of the year they are ready to move on to study at LJMU.” Deb Crawley Chemistry and Maths teacher
