DrJosta Heyligers

Josta’s research has involved critical analysis of higher education development in the learning support area. As a trained teacher of English as a foreign language (EFL) and academic writing advisor, she has continued her interest in applied linguistics, particularly English for Academic Purposes (EAP) and corpus linguistics based on data-driven learning (DDL). Recently she has been introduced to Systemic Functional Linguistics (SFL) which she intends to further research and integrate with the linguistics theories she is familiar with and has used in her previous research activities.

Specific research interests include:
> Academic writing for research purposes
> Writing across the disciplines
> Corpus Linguistics and DLL
> Genre-based SFL
> Writing retreats
