Ingebjørg Mellegård

I work as associate professor of English linguistics and didactics at Østfold University College in Norway. Before that, I had many years of experience as an English teacher in primary, lower secondary and upper secondary school. In 2002, I started working at Østfold University College, and since then, my major responsibilities have been connected to in-service training and continuing education of English teachers. My main interests centre on professional development of English teachers, curriculum theory, course design, bridging theory and practice in addition to different aspects of English didactics, such as oral communication, vocabulary and picture books.

The idea of creating a website with picturebooks for English teachers has been a dream of mine for years. Together with my close and trusted colleagues, Astrid and Kathrine, this idea has finally become a reality.
