The first quarter of the year has been incredible, and I’m just getting warmed up!
A fantastic conference presentation!
The Neurodiversity Teacher Summit was outstanding, everyone!
I presented my pedagogy Language in Action™—a session exploring how sequential art, language meditation, drama, and improvisation can transform the language-learning experience for neurodivergent learners.
As an advocate for innovative teaching, I integrate comics, storytelling, and embodied learning into classrooms to create immersive, accessible, and student-centred approaches. The masterclass provided practical, hands-on strategies to bring lessons to life, making education more engaging.
Let’s rethink language education together—because learning should be as dynamic and diverse as the students we teach!

Save the dates, everyone!
Teachers and students, you are cordially invited!

The exhibition explores how these creative mediums encourage language development, literacy, and cultural understanding through vibrant artwork and compelling narratives.

A wonderful project completion!
Special thanks to Dr Anna Belew for a fantastic endangered languages project, specifically a language documentation program managed by the First Peoples' Cultural Council and the Endangered Languages Catalogue/Endangered Languages Project (ELCat/ELP) team at the University of Hawaiʻi at Mānoa.
The eight-week program was a highly informative series of weekly real-time webinars to educate scholars further playing a crucial role in preserving and revitalising indigenous languages. It is a valuable source in my PhD research of Revivalistics, a trans-disciplinary field exploring the dynamics and problematics inherent in spoken language reclamation (Zuckermann 2020).
These languages are integral to cultural identity, heritage, and community cohesion.
The program, focusing on documenting and supporting the revival of languages at risk of extinction, provides resources and tools for communities to reclaim their linguistic heritage. By encouraging awareness and understanding of endangered languages, the program helps strengthen cultural ties and engages us all in the global conversation on language preservation.
The endangered Indigenous linguistic program I coordinate at an educational centre in Adelaide, South Australia, is an Australian first collaboration with the Barngarla People from Port Lincoln (Galinyala in Barngarla) and Port Augusta (Goordnada in Barngarla). Their invaluable knowledge and dedication have been instrumental in the success of this program.
I eagerly anticipate the ongoing rejuvenation of this dreaming sleeping beauty language, a process that fills me with hope and optimism for the future.
