Literature

I have taught a wide variety of graduate and undergraduate courses, specializing in: 

• Twentieth Century Literature: Surrealism and the Avant-garde, Modern Novel, Poetry, Marguerite Yourcenar
• Narratology 

I have taught language courses at all levels, specializing in: 

• Third-year grammar and composition
• A four semester Web-based Reading French course I designed
• Technology Assisted Language Learning courses at the undergraduate and graduate level

This activity began with the Alberta Language Learning Environment (ALLE) project, which I co-directed with Esther Enns and which has now been expanded with a successful bid for major funding to create a Language Research Centre (LRC) at the University of Calgary. My work in this regard can be divided into four main areas:

• With ALLE, I designed and was principal presenter at a score of "Web workshops for language teachers".
  
• With ALLE and the LRC, I worked on various contracts with Alberta Learning in the area of teacher training and on-line language learning.
  
• I have been invited to give presentations at teachers' conventions
• I have developed web materials to complement professional development 
• I have received invitations by French government agencies (External Affairs, Embassies and Alliances françaises), and foreign universities to give seminars and workshops to teaching personnel.
