Shona

I'm an associate professor or lecturer in English (MCF) in the English Department
at the University of Nice.  I'm responsible for our oral English programmes
and supervise the work of the English lecteurs. 

I grew up in Scotland and have undergraduate degrees in translation and interpreting from the universities of Heriot-Watt (Edinburgh) and François Rabelais (Tours), and an MA in TESOL and a PhD in Linguistics from Indiana University (Bloomington, Indiana).

  I have been teaching oral English and translation at the University of Nice since 1994.
