Meet the Team

The CiC Team

The CiC team, led and co-established by Dr Raquel, is the energy and driving force of this initiative. The team is responsible for the implementation of the initiative, from the initial conversation with the teacher, assisting with certification applications and course delivery, creating and sustaining the interest of colleagues in the initiative, and setting up administrative and support systems. Team members are composed of experienced and multiskilled staff from the Centre for Applied English Studies (CAES) and the School of Chinese, with deep experience in curriculum design, teaching, and assessment across various communication literacies.
