Biography
I was born in France and learned English when I moved to Canada. Later, I learned Spanish and travelled throughout South America. In both contexts, I experienced what it’s like to try to communicate in an unfamiliar language. Those experiences greatly impacted my teaching style. My love of languages, as well as of reading, led me to study in the field of travel literature. I recently completed my PhD at the University of Toronto. My thesis focused on the nature and evolution of the role of interpreters, translators and mediators in the writings of Early Modern French travellers. This topic, which links back to my interest in language teaching, made me reflect on the diversity of language teaching strategies and how language was learned in a time where textbooks were nonexistent. During my PhD, I taught a wide range of French language, translation and literature courses at various levels.
