Student Profiles
School of Business and Humanities
“I came from a languages background, then
I went into primary school training and I’ve
been teaching a few years. It was nice to get
back into French again and also to be able to
tell my students that I was learning as well!
I think it’s good for them to see learning as a
choice; that it’s not just something you have to
do. I’m very glad I did it. Hopefully it will benefit
the students to see that as a teacher, you’re not
just staying at the same point, you are learning
and improving.”
Jane O’Toole, MA in Languages
“Originally I did the Graduate Diploma in
German in 2004 and I loved the course, it was
great. I had great fun. There was a lot of work
in it, a lot of reading, a lot of assignments, but
the atmosphere was good every week and
everyone was very helpful – the other students
and the lecturers. I was very excited when the
opportunity came up to do the Masters and
I’m delighted I have the same lecturer again.
It makes me feel young again. I forget about all
those years in between.”
Rosaleen Sampson, MA in Languages
“For the first module I found I could just go
home and do the work but with this Module –
Computer Assisted Language Learning –
it’s very hands-on, so the minute I go into
the classroom in the morning I’m on Moodle.
I find it great – the lecturer posts notes and
assignments on it and because there’s only six
of us doing this module it’s a great way to have
communication. Basically when I log on if there’s
someone on I can chat or I can leave a message
if there’s not.”
Debbie Connor, MA in Languages
