Poppy
Hi!
My name is Poppy and here are three things about me:
#1 I am a Senior English Lecturer at Turku University of Applied Sciences at the Faculty of Engineering and Business. I teach and work with Information Technology students and International Business online students. What I love about my work is the interaction with students and colleagues and the hands-on nature of my courses. In that respect, I consider myself a teaching practitioner.
#2 I have been participating in and coordinating courses that integrate core subjects and language and communication e.g., Practice Enterprise and Product Development. In such courses, we work in a teacher team and we coach small student groups. This is an eye-opening experience because I gain an understanding of the core subjects, the work my students will be doing so that I can design my English courses better. An added bonus is that I get updated on all the latest product ideas the students have.
#3 I like to fiddle digital tools, Learning Management Systems and MOOCs.
