Profile

Stephen Moore has worked in the fields of English language teaching and TESOL / Applied Linguistics teacher education for over twenty years, and has lived and taught in Japan, Cambodia and Vietnam. His interest in critical linguistics led to Master’s and PhD research on the language of The Economist magazine and issues of power, ideology and point of view in discourse. He worked as a senior researcher in the Adult Migrant English Program (AMEP) Research Centre prior to formally joining the Department of Linguistics in 2006. He co-convenes the postgraduate Applied Linguistics programs.

Stephen teaches across a wide range of subjects, including discourse, pragmatics, Language for Specific Purposes, language program management, research methods, and assessment. He supervises a number of doctoral students principally investigating TESOL-related topics.

Stephen’s most recent funded research has related to two projects: (1) A discursive approach to developing the professional communication skills of accounting students; and (2) Perceptions of IELTS in Cambodia: A case study of test impact in a small developing country. Other active research interests include English in Cambodia; language teachers becoming researchers; and media discourse analysis (print and radio). He is an editorial board member of two TESOL journals and reviews articles for many top-tier applied linguistics and discourse-related journals.
