Kathrine Staksrud

I work as an assistant professor of English at Østfold University College in Norway and I have worked here since 2018. Before that, I was a teacher in lower secondary for fourteen years. My main interest is English didactics and especially the use of literature in the classroom and development of oral proficiency. My main responsibilities are connected to teacher education as well as in-service teachers. I have experienced how the use of picture books can generate motivation, communication, engagement and learning in the language learning classroom and I believe that it is a valuable resource for every English teacher.
