Peter Lee

Role

I teach in the School of Arts and Humanities. I am a lecturer in Teaching English to Speakers of Other Languages and also teach within the subject area of linguistics, the university language programme, and pre-sessional English. I have taught on a diverse range of linguistics courses such as Clinical Linguistics, First Language Acquisition, and Sociolinguistic. This reflects my wider experience in Applied Linguistics and research interests. I currently teach:

• Teaching and Assessing Vocabulary (PG)
• Research Methods (PG)
• Investigating Language in Use (PG)
• Developing Materials for the Language Classroom (PG)
• Developing Classroom Practice (PG)

I lead the Research Methods module and supervise MA dissertation projects on areas related to pedagogical practice and language acquisition. I also assist in coordinating the assessments for the Pre-sessional English for Academic Purposes (PEAP) course. In this role, I collaborate to develop and manage assessments for the PEAP course.

Career overview

Before teaching at Nottingham Trent University, I developed curriculum, materials and assessments for an English language programme at Sojo University, a university specializing in science and technology in Kyushu, Japan. I started teaching at NTU in 2014, having previously taught at the University of Nottingham. I have over 25 years of language teaching experience, having worked in universities in Nagasaki and Tokyo as a researcher and practitioner in the field of second-language acquisition, and as a language consultant with Ford-Werke, Merkenich in Germany. I have trained and worked as a Speech and Language Pathologist, having qualified with a Master of Science degree in Speech and Language Science from UCL.

I have a PhD in Applied Linguistics, and also a Masters degree in Applied Linguistics. My research considers multilingualism, as well as linguistic variation and identities.
