Astrid Elisabeth Kure

I work as an assistant professor of English at Østfold University College in Norway and have worked here since 2007. I am also a PhD candidate at the University of Oslo, and my research area is the use of digital skills in the English classroom. I started working with primary education for adults in Sarpsborg, and moved on to teaching English in Upper Secondary. I work with teacher education, both in-service teachers as well as post graduate certificate in Education (PPU). In my work, on every level, I have seen the joy and insight the use of picture books can add to the teaching of English, something which I find the pleasure of sharing with fellow teachers and educators.
