Sarah Dobbie serves as an EAP Tutor within the School of Language, Literature, Music and Visual Culture, specializing in English for Academic Purposes and Teaching English to Speakers of Other Languages. With over 17 years of international teaching experience since 2007—including service as an IELTS examiner—she has focused exclusively on EAP since returning to the UK in 2016, drawing on prior leadership roles as Senior Teacher and Head of English to mentor new educators.
Her academic credentials comprise:
- MEd in Applied Linguistics from the Open University (2020)
- Diploma in TESOL from Trinity College London (2014)
- BA (Hons) in Classical Studies from Newcastle University (2007)
Professional expertise centers on EAP pedagogy and TESOL methodology, enhanced by practical language testing experience. Current responsibilities include delivering pre-sessional EAP courses across all proficiency levels, providing university-wide academic support sessions, and contributing to the MSc TESOL program through courses like Peer Teaching in TESOL (LN5516) and cross-disciplinary instruction such as Core Biomedical Physics Skills (BP5525).
No scientific awards or research grants are documented in the source materials.
Mentoring remains integral to her practice through teacher observations and developmental guidance, though no formal graduate student supervision or research collaborations are indicated. Her work emphasizes practical language instruction rather than scholarly publication or laboratory-based research.
