Projects

I'm interested in languages, teaching, literacy and intercultural contacts. At the moment this includes: Products:
  • Alfaschrift, a course in handwriting for literacy students (in Dutch). And the French version AlphaScript .
  • A literacy font, see www.font.alphaL2.org
  • Co-authorship of course material for the Dutch organisation for refugees that prepares students for the integration exam in the Netherlands.
  • The teacher's guide for a photo book used by the organisation ISKB in Utrecht. The photo book facilitates dialogue between volunteer teachers and their students, who are from different backgrounds and do not speak the same language.

Qualifications

  • French language and culture at the University of Utrecht
  • Master's degree in applied linguistics
  • Thesis on illiterate adults and second language learning
