I have been teaching for over 20 years at tertiary level. For 14 years I taught Study Skills and Research Skills and Methods at the Pacific Theological College, an inter-denominational tertiary institution that trains Pacific islanders in Christian ministry. In the last five years I have been teaching English for Academic Purposes here at the University of the South Pacific.
My area of interest is the vocabulary of first year university students for whom English is a second language; in particular the range of their entry level vocabulary is adequate to meet the rigor of academic demands.
