La Pasionaria on the Clyde Waterfront in Glasgow. Featuring a statue of Dolores Ibarruri, it's a memorial to the volunteers of the Internarional Brigade who fought and died in the fight against the forces of fascism in the Spanish Civil War in the 1930s.

Lovely event yesterday at St Andrew’s University. Lots of interesting presentations and conversations with EAP practitioners from various British Universities (and beyond!)

I’ll be talking about ‘Tailoring and enhancing EAP to support students across the wider university’ on the 8th February at the ‘EAP and Beyond’ Conference organised by the University of St Andrew’s. How exciting! 🥳
