CLIE Teaching Staff

You will be taught by a number of UCL appointed academic staff. All staff teaching on the course are highly qualified and experienced. External examiners have stated that the teaching within the Centre for Languages & International Education is of a high standard and is delivered by qualified, enthusiastic, competent and experienced teachers.

Teaching and training staff involved in this programme include:

David Albery

I've been working in ELT for nearly 25 years both in the UK and overseas. I've taught English in a wide range of contexts, both private and public sector, and trained teachers and trainers in many different parts of the world. I've also held management posts in the private sector and been responsible for the design and running of highly regarded teacher training programmes; most recently, the Distance Delta delivered by The British Council and IH London. I currently divide my time between teacher training and teaching EAP at UCL, writing books for teachers and working in positions of responsibility for Delta and TKT:KAL assessment and administration for Cambridge English. My most recent publication is The TKT:KAL Course, CUP, 2012.

Jackie Watson

I have been teaching English as a foreign language since 1984 and taught in the UK, Italy, France and Japan before joining UCL in 2003. I have experience teaching in both the public and private sectors as well as running my own company in Tokyo delivering courses in English language, British culture and communication skills to professionals and businesses.

As the Short Courses Co-ordinator at the UCL Centre of Languages and International Education, I am involved in designing, co-ordinating and teaching short, intensive courses in English language and British culture to overseas students, teachers and professionals. I also teach on the In-Sessional English for Academic Purposes course and courses to assist students with their pronunciation and public speaking skills.
