Insights and Reflections from a Teacher-Researcher

Dr Lin Siew Fong shared her recollections and insights gained during her three decades of teaching career and research at  a webinar hosted by the English Language centre, June 17, 2021 at UTAS-Ibri. The vivid descriptions of her experiences related to research, professional development and personal development were rich takeaways for many. In addition, she elaborated her ethical stance as a researcher and hoped that the information shared will encourage other teacher-researchers to become optimistic and positive and to have rich experiences throughout their professional and personal journeys.
