Douglas Hamano-Bunce

Lecturer in English for Academic Purposes

Biography

Background

I joined ELE as a summer pre-sessional English for Academic Purposes (EAP) Tutor in 2014 and am currently a Teaching Fellow (EAP). My responsibilities include the Graduate Writing (GWC), which offers one-to-one academic writing tutorials to postgraduate students and staff, the English for Education and Social Sciences summer pre-sessional course for prospective postgraduate students, the embedded in-sessional Academic Language & Literacy for the Masters in Public Health (ALLMPH) provision, and the Listening and Note Taking course for the year-round pre-sessional programme (PGPEP).

Before coming to Edinburgh, I spent over twenty years in Asia teaching English to speakers of other languages (TESOL) as well as EAP, at the British Council in Tokyo and Singapore, and at universities in Japan and the United Arab Emirates. I also worked as a CELTA teacher trainer.
