I cannot wait for October to arrive so I can start my doctorate 😱 but first, Japan ! #education #languages

This week’s book 💡 #multilingualism #sociolinguistics

So I got into Portsmouth Ed.D program ✨ and accepted the offer ✨ #education #tesol

I realize that I don’t post here as much as I should … The past few weeks have been busy since a paper got accepted at the World Conference of Foreign Language Education in London this July ✨ #tesol #tefl

It broke my heart to withdraw my application to MSU but it was clearly for the best 🫠😳 #education

But on the other hand, I have started working on another article, this time on #accentism 🤩 #tesol #tefl

My article on language and identity is done but tbh I don’t know where to send it 🤣 it’s not an academic article, it’s pretty mainstream so I am puzzled and open to suggestions #article #sociolinguistics

What’s the best way to start #languageweek ? To have a conference about deaf sign language ! #diversity #multilingualism

I have an interview at the university of Portsmouth to do an Ed.D 🔥 #keepthemotivation

Literally the whole point of the new certificate I have done with #futurelearn : Understanding Multilingual Children’s language development ✨ #multilingualism

I won’t pay €280 a language assessment test to prove that my English level is good enough to be a doctorate student in a British university while I have been a British university student for the past 6 years. This is purely and simply discrimination. #tesol

I hold a MA in Applied linguistics and TESOL from a British university. I attended Yale and Harvardas a postgrad. I have published papers in English about English teaching. I have been asked to provide a proof of my English level from Ed.D program. #whatonearth

This is 2025 and we need, more than ever, to remind people that women are human beings. Women’s rights are human’s rights. #internationalwomensday

Paying attention to how multilingual children read can help foster reading for pleasure for all theconversation.com/paying-atten...

Oh, and I enrolled back to Harvard. I was debating for months, if not years, if I were to do a Certificate in School management and Leadership at Harvard Business School, since I got in, actually. Well, today is the day 💁‍♀️ #professionaldevelopment

✨and just like that, my article is out ! ✨ ihworld.com/ih-journal/i... #tesol #multilingualism

Promoting native speakerism is a slap on the face to all the learners of the world. It’s saying “you will never be enough.” I am raging mad that this is something qualified and competent teachers have to fight against #tesol #accentism

Oh hi new certificate 👋 #interculturalism #cpd

My daughter (3 y/o) explained to me, very calmly, that she wanted to go to Japan with me next Spring so while I work, she can “admire the flowers”. I think she particularly liked building that Lego set with me 🤣 #japaneseflowers #thingsmykidsays

I am off for 5 days 🥂 #holidays

I am halfway through my second #futurelearn certificate this month (this time about language and culture), fairly sure I will be done by next week 😱 #cpd

New article idea incoming ✨ #motivation #SLA #tesol

I said to myself “I don’t need another tattoo” for months. I was convinced. No new projects. Until my favorite tattoo artist released new sketches and I am like TAKE MY MONEYYYYY #tattoo

Busy weekend since I completed a new certificate with #futurelearn ✨ introduction to Intercultural Studies : Intercultural contact. I really liked it and completed it way faster than I thought 🤣 #cpd #interculturalism

Just realized that my cat, who is 18 years old and a half, would be 90 years old if she were human .. no wonder she is tired lately 😰 #leeloo

I am honestly considering signing up for Japanese classes 🫠 why am I like this? #languages #japanese

I need vacations 😭 #tired

“Accent reduction” is more of a marketing gimmick than an actual service.

Busy week, new book 🫠🤓 #bookworm #bretagne

I have to stop myself from buying a new book on #languagerevitalization this time about #breton 😭 #brittany

Like, my colleague brought celebratory breakfast because I got into the Ed.D program ? How nice is that ?! #doctorate

I am honestly extremely lucky to have such supportive colleagues. When I compare with my former school, it really changes everything. #grateful

My current position will evolve pretty soon because the workload is just too much for me BUT I am quite dubious about what will happen. I don’t deal well with uncertainty 🤷‍♀️ #work

Today’s new book! #oulipo #linguistics #english

I GOT IN ✨ I got into the Ed.D program at the University of Sheffield !! #education #plurilingualism #teachertraining

I survived my interview ! I don’t know what will happen next, apparently I should have the answer pretty soon. I am not sure at all how it went. I guess we’ll see 🤞 #doctorate

Partnership with #ETSGlobal is going strong 💪 #tesol #tefl

Interview is Monday, better start prep! #plurilingualism #languageeducation #multilingualism

Today is hard (exhausted after traveling a lot and working on several difficult cases) BUT I am going to work again with my former uni roommate and that’s the bright side of my day ✨

What a day ! It was lovely to meet again with my former #tesol France colleagues and to discuss language assessment strategies with #etsglobal and #7speaking at #learningtechnologies in #paris

“Language is more than grammar and vocabulary; it’s a bridge through time. Even when fractured and messy, it connects us to those who came before and to those yet to come.” www.theguardian.com/lifeandstyle...

New (work related) challenge for 2025 ✨ yes I am traveling again, this time to Paris 🚆 #tesol #tefl #englishforspecificpurposes

Got an interview for an Ed.D program 🥳 #fingerscrossed

Bilingualism is associated with a bigger brain. Similar to other cognitively demanding skills, it leads to dynamic subcortical structural adaptations which can be nonlinear, in line with expansion-renormalisation models of experience-dependent neuroplasticity. www.nature.com/articles/s41...

Presented the languages strategy to the #uhfp this morning here at #cannes ! #toeic #ets

Let’s do this 💪 #convention #uhfp #education

I saw the « if you went to college 1. what was your career goal when you started? 2. your initial major? 3. if you changed majors, what did you change to? 4. what do you do now, professionally? » and thought, hell, let’s talk about what a ride that was for me.
