I’ve developed a multilingual support model for my BA Strategic Management & International Business Top-Up students 🎓🌍
This model is designed to support students with IELTS 5.5 entry, helping them thrive academically while feeling socially connected and supported.
✨ Key goals:
✅ Focus on subject-specific content
✅ Improve English skills through collaboration
✅ Build community & belonging based on student demographics
✅ Enhance overall study experience
💬 The model includes translation tools (Microsoft Teams & Copilot), peer-led learning groups, multilingual chat channels, and regular check-ins, all shaped by action research and evolving through student feedback.
🙏 Huge thanks to:
💼 (Deputy Dean)
🎓 (Head of School)
👩‍💼 (Line Manager)
👨‍🏫 And my amazing students for their engagement
💡 Plus special thanks to Dr Martin Smith, a fellow Senior Lecturer, whose passion for supporting diverse learners continues to inspire me 💛

Let’s keep building inclusive, empowering learning environments together!

Eco-tourism in action at Twycross Zoo!
As module leader, I’m always excited to share real-world examples, and Twycross Zoo is a standout for eco-tourism.
Their Trick or Treat Trail isn’t just Halloween fun—it’s packed with conservation education. Young people can meet live, interactive characters like the “TicketMaster” “Pookeeper” “Scaretaker,” “ZousChef” “Ex’spook’ditioner ” each sharing real stories about wildlife and sustainability with their amazing talents and passion. Kids solve puzzles, earn badges, and learn how they can help protect endangered species.
This is also a brilliant case study for your 25-26 BUS4005 assessments on sustainable business strategy.
