Angela Buckingham

My responsibilities are to support and develop the enhancement of teaching, learning and assessment within the university.

I support the University's HEA accredited FLAIR Framework, teaching on the Academic Practice Programme (the APP) for new staff, including those overseas at University of Reading Malaysia. I take a lead role in the development and delivery of the teaching and learning induction programme for PhD students who have teaching responsibilities (Preparing to Teach), and I am a tutor to the Graduate Teaching Assistants on the APP. I enjoy contributing to the Teaching and Learning Open Programme, which offers a range of developmental opportunities for academic staff and staff supporting teaching and learning.

Background

My background is in language teaching, materials writing and teacher training (online and face to face); I have over 20 years' experience in ELT. I am the author of a number of ELT publications and have worked as a classroom teacher in the UK, Australia and Japan. I deliver teacher training courses for primary, secondary and tertiary teachers in numerous overseas settings.

I joined CQSD as an Academic Developer in November 2015.
