SANDIE MOURÃO

Originally from North Wales, I have lived and worked in Portugal since 1987 and
have an MA in TESOL from the University of Manchester and a PhD from the
University of Aveiro in didactics and teacher education. In my thesis I
investigated the role of picturebook illustrations in language development,
which brought two of my passions together, language learning with children under
6 years old and picturebooks for language learning. I continue to be involved in
classroom-based research involving both language learning and reader response,
together with interests in issues around intercultural  learning, assessment of
learning and classroom practices in primary English education.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------


 


PRESENT PROJECTS:

 * Principal Researcher on a three-year research project investigating teacher
   education and classroom-based assessment practices, ‘Transforming assessment

   CETAPS, UIDB/04097/2020]
 * Participating researcher on ‘Active Citizenship Through Dialogue in Virtual

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------


 


PROFESSIONAL PATHWAY

In May 2019 I began as a full-time researcher in CETAPS Universidade Nova, where
I am investigating children’s literature for intercultural citizenship education
in primary English education in Portugal. Before that I was a part-time invited
assistant professor at the faculty and responsible for the seminar, ‘Teaching
Young Learners’ on the Mestrado em Ensino de Inglês no 1º ciclo do Ensino
Básico.

I have worked as a freelance teacher educator and educational consultant since
2000, working closely with APPIforma and NILE, training classroom pre-primary
and primary teachers of English both in Portugal and around the world. I have
also worked with the Portuguese Ministry of Education as a supervisor and
trainer for online courses for primary teachers of English. I am often engaged
in consultancies on early language learning, and have worked closely with the
Ministry of Education in Peru and Cambridge English Assessment associated with
curriculum changes in Malaysia.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------


 


ASSOCIATIONS AND NETWORKS

I am active member of research associations. At present, I am the Chair of the
Early Language Learning Research Association (ELLRA) (2023 – 2026). In 2017, I
set up and coordinate the Primary English Education in Portugal (PEEP), a
network of Higher Education Institutes that offer a master’s in Teaching English
in Primary Education. I also set up the Multilingual Childhoods Special Interest
Group (SIG) within EECERA and co-convened the SIG between August 2015 and May
2019 – I remain a member of the association and this SIG.

I am also an active member of teacher associations and have been a member
of IATEFL and APPI since the late 1990s. I founded the APPI special interest
group for pre-primary and primary teachers (APPInep) and coordinated the group
between 2000 and 2009. I was the coordinator of the IATEFL Young Learner (YL)
SIG from 2003 to 2006 and a trustee on the IATEFL Board between 2006 and 2009.

Together with Gail Ellis, Tatia Gruenbaum and Anneta Sadowska I have
co-founded Picturebooks in European Primary English Language Teaching (PEPELT),
which supports primary teachers of English in using picturebooks with
confidence. I have just returned to blogging – Picturebooks in ELT promotes the
use of picturebooks with language learners of all age groups, with a focus on
picturebooks that help make the world a better place.
