Resource: Harry Potter in Translation: Making Language Learning Magical

February 1, 2012

Recently I did a virtual presentation for Idaho State University on how to use Harry Potter in translation to teach international languages. The presentation highlighted the Harry Potter in Translation project at the University of Calgary’s Language Research Centre.

The materials I prepared for the presentation included 5 lesson plans on how to use Harry Potter in translation in language classes.

You can check out the lesson plans here:

Honoured to be an Adjunct

October 3, 2011

University of Calgary

I received the official letter today from the Provost and Vice-President (Academic) at the University of Calgary, appointing me as an Adjunct Assistant Professor in the Faculty of Arts’ Department of Germanic, Slavic and East Asian Studies. I owe so many people thanks for making this happen. At the top of the list are:

Dr. Mary O’Brien, Director, Language Research Centre

Dr. Rahat Naqvi, Associate Director, Language Research Centre

Dr. Florentine Strzelczyk, Head,  Germanic, Slavic and East Asian Studies

Dr. Olga Mladenova, Professor of Russian, Germanic, Slavic and East Asian Studies

I also owe a debt of gratitude to other colleagues at the Language Research Centre, as well as the administrative staff in both GSEA, the Dean of Arts office and others who helped to make this a reality. This has been in the works for months and involved so many people collaborating and supporting. I am honoured and thrilled and I promise to do my best to contribute in a positive way to the University community.
