Joanna started her career as an English teacher and English teacher trainer. She has a MA in Linguistics, and a long publications list. In particular, she focused on the area of pronunciation teaching. She then moved to the field of workplace learning. She worked for a number of years as a senior manager in the IT industry, responsible for People and Capability, and now works with her own consulting team to provide custom e-learning development for organisations. Joanna brings together both her English teaching experience and her workplace training experience at Language Fuel. Language Fuel is a collection of on-demand course content providing continuous professional development to English teachers. Joanna has written a number of Language Fuel courses herself, and has partnered with dozens of other experts in the ELT industry to provide nearly 100 courses in the Language Fuel catalogue.
