Introduction

[Groenewald Jeannette, Me]

Dear Discours-ers
Thank you for accepting me onto the list. I hold a Master's in Psychology of
Education, a field in which I did my first research into reading development
in South Africa. My teaching history has (roughly) been in Language
Education (mainly for teacher training) and Applied Linguistics (as a
theoretical basis for teaching a Master's in Language Education). I have
specialised in Academic Development (of necessity), Language Planning,
Cognition and Writing (of interest), although in South Africa most language
specialists have tended to be generalists. I also spent some years in
Communication (read Composition as in the States). At present I teach
courses in research and academic writing and offer consultation to
post-graduate students, and sociolinguistics to undergraduates. My research
papers tend to reflect this haphazard scene. It must be clear though that
discourse analysis forms a thread of coherence through these experiences and
interests. At present I am applying my critical faculties to thesis writing
and supervision.
Warm regards
