• Prepared and delivered training modules for Afghan agricultural education teachers and university faculty
• I am leading a study, working with a colleague in Kenya, to examine the nature of academic communication in a higher education institution in Kenya where English (which is a second language) is the medium of instruction. The study will also explore the relationship between communicative competence and academic performance. Progress has been held back by the coronavirus restrictions.
