Profile
Johanna has experience as an educator since 1998 in a variety of teaching institutions, both in Australia and overseas. After completing her Masters in English and in Teaching, she taught in Sydney for several years before moving to Queensland to teach in the Communication Faculty at the Southbank Institute of Technology. In 2004, she took a position as an Academic Skills Adviser at USC. In 2010, she was offered the oportunity to teach Academic English at one of USC's partner institutions in Germany, Hochschule Fulda.
In addition to performing the adviser role, Johanna remains a registered teacher and has taught in a variety of subject areas at USC including Academic Skills, Writing, Literacies in Education and Innovation.
Johanna’s postgraduate studies have focused on teaching English language and communication skills. This area of specialism, coupled with diverse experience gained overseas, has led to an interest in issues related to international students and students from non-English speaking backgrounds.
She is currently developing and delivering academic skill support programs to international students at USC and is investigating ways to maximise the learning outcomes and the successful transition of culturally and linguistically diverse students. In 2010, she spent 12 weeks in Germany undertaking research into the academic transition experience of returned International Study Abroad students.
