Clare Furneaux

Niina Hynninen 

  

Clare Furneaux is a British National Teaching Fellow and a Senior Lecturer in Applied Linguistics at the University of Reading, UK, where she teaches on MAs in English Language Teaching (campus-based and distance study) and an undergraduate programme in English Language for home students.  She directs the MA ELT by Distance Study. She teaches modules on literacy and English language teaching, especially language curriculum design and written language. Clare's research interests are concerned with developing second language writing skills (especially in English for Academic Purposes contexts) and on-line/distance learning. She also supervises research in the areas of curriculum design. She attended CSW in 2006 and is delighted to have the opportunity to participate once more. 

 

Since the autumn of 2007, Niina Hynninen has been working on her PhD thesis on language regulation in English as a lingua franca (ELF). Over the course of her studies, Niina has been involved in different ELF-related projects and research communities. Currently she participates in the Global English (GlobE) project (http://www.uef.fi/globe) and the Lingua francas and plurilingualism research community, and is a member of the ELF research team (http://www.helsinki.fi/elfa). Her research interests include English as a lingua franca, normativity in language, discourse analysis, and spoken interaction.
