DrAlex Runchman

Since 2018, I have been responsible for the development and academic co-ordination of English for Academic Purposes modules on UCD’s partnership programmes in China (at Beijing-Dublin International College [BDIC], Chang’an-Dublin International College of Transportation in Xi'an [CDIC], and Guangzhou-Dublin International College of Life Sciences and Technology [GDIC]). My duties include curriculum development, module design, creating assessment materials and specifications, recruiting, managing, and training teachers, co-ordinating assessment, and liaising with, and providing quality assurance to, stakeholders. I lecture on the UCD Centre for English and Global Language’s MA in TESOL and developed the Professional Certificate in TESOL, an English for Academic Purposes teacher-training programme for international English teachers.
