Almut has a PhD in Applied Linguistics from the University of Nottingham investigating spoken office discourse. Her work experience includes working as an English language teacher, teacher trainer, and director of studies in Germany, France and the USA and lecturing at the University of Nottingham.

Dr Tim Grant http://www1.aston.ac.uk/lss/staff/grantt/
Tim is senior lecturer in Forensic Linguistics at Aston University's Centre for Forensic Linguistics. His work focuses on the investigation of threatening and abusive communications, and he has appeared in print and broadcast media, including the BBC's Crimewatch and Word of Mouth programmes. He is a member of the International Association of Forensic Linguists, and recent publications include 'Idiolect free authorship analysis?' and 'Approaching questions in forensic authorship analysis' (in, respectively, M. Coulthard & A. Johnson (Eds.) (2010), The Routledge Handbook of Forensic Linguistics (pp. 508-522). London: Routledge & J. Gibbons & M. T. Turell (Eds.) (2008), Dimensions of Forensic Linguistics. Amsterdam: John Benjamins).

Michael Rundell http://www.lexmasterclass.com/people/michael-rundell/
Michael has been a lexicographer since 1980. He has managed numerous dictionary projects, and is currently Editor-in-Chief of the Macmillan range of learner’s dictionaries (www.macmillandictionary.com). He has been involved in the development of several corpora (including the BNC) and has been at the forefront of applying computational techniques to the analysis of corpus data and the compilation of dictionary text. He has published widely in the field of corpus-based lexicography, and is co-author (with Sue Atkins) of the Oxford Guide to Practical Lexicography (2008). Michael's career is bookended by two major revolutions in lexicography: the arrival of corpora, and the transfer of reference resources from print to digital media. With the second of these revolutions still in its early stages, he finds himself on a new learning curve, as the nature of the dictionary business undergoes another transformation.
