I never knew how much I love doing research
and how much fun one can possibly have while
doing it. While a PhD researcher at the Institute
of Education, University of Reading, UK, I studied
teachers’ reflection for my dissertation, and
it became my passion. The topic of reflective
practice was first introduced to me in the AUS
MA TESOL program.
