At limited times parts 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 Adobe Connect, or free alternatives such as Zoho Meeting. I also run Moodle on my server and am able to offer courses through that in case no CMS is available. 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.

In recent years I have given courses, workshops and invited lectures in the United Kingdom, the Netherlands, USA, Thailand, China, Indonesia, Japan, Korea, Colombia, Oman, Pakistan, New Zealand, Australia, Taiwan and Mexico.

In addition, I have been:

• Visiting Professor at Meiji University in Tokyo, Japan
• Visiting Scholar at the University of Sheffield, UK
• Visiting Professor at King Mongkut University in Bangkok, Thailand
• Adjunct Professor at the University of Groningen, the Netherlands
