Hire me > Lecturing

[my availability at present is limited, but there may be opportunities for development or delivery of courses that could benefit your institution as well as my place of work, so do feel free to contact me with your ideas].
At certain times of the year I am available to teach undergraduate and postgraduate courses in the areas of applied linguistics, second language acquisition, teacher education, and specific topics related to my research interests. In addition, I offer staff development courses.

I teach both on-site, subject to my schedule, and online, using collaboration software such as Zoom and Gotomeeting. I also run Moodle on my server and am able to offer courses through that in case no CMS is available in your institution. This means that I am often quite flexible in teaching courses at short notice, for example in the case where a replacement is needed. I also teach in Second Life.

Having always been interested in promoting learner autonomy and learning beyond the classrom in our school, we found Hayo’s workshop truly inspiring for the teachers. As stated by many of them during the session, it is high time we integrated technology into our profession and this workshop proved to be an excellent starting point.” – Mohsen, Director at Safir Language Academies, the largest language school (over 100 branches) in Iran, 2018.

Prof. Reinders delivered a masterclass at the ICIET2019 conference with his oratory skills, bringing together discussions on different cutting-edge technology and applications of IoT and ICT in a pedagogical context. His talk was futuristic with engaging and fascinating discussions on managing big data in a language teaching and teacher training context, making the audience think and reflect on what they do and how they could reinvent pedagogy in their respective curriculum.
