Guest speaker at the world language teacher summit!

It was a delight to speak at the 2025 Back-To-School World Language Teacher Summit, presenting my dynamic new pedagogy, Language in Action™, where sequential art, language meditation, drama, and improvisation combine to ignite language learning in fresh and transformative ways.

Appreciative thanks to Event Coordinator Peya Robbins for the stunning post-conference testimony!

During the virtual masterclass, we explored how comics, storytelling, and embodied learning can reframe classrooms into immersive, student-centred spaces.

More book signings!

Book signing at the Papercuts Comics Festival!

I look forward to meeting teachers, students, and readers of my bilingual French-English graphic novel Les Aventures de Paris et Freddie, an Australian first book release created and set in Adelaide, South Australia!

Exhibition Opening – October 6!

I’m delighted to announce the opening of my Belgian Comic Books and Memorabilia Exhibition at the Adelaide Comic Convention and Toy Fair!

Spanning works from the early 1900s to the present, this exhibition celebrates the enduring cultural and artistic legacy of la bande dessinée belge, from Tintin to Spirou and beyond. Belgian comics have not only left their mark on global storytelling but also play a powerful role in language education.

Through my Language in Action™ pedagogy, these iconic works become dynamic tools for teaching language, sparking creativity, and encouraging intercultural connection.

Come and discover the magic on October 6!

Bilingual book launch magic!

The book launch of Les Aventures de Paris et Freddie in Adelaide, South Australia was a fantastic success!

Held at the Cove Civic Centre, the event drew an enthusiastic crowd, including language teachers, school students, and comic lovers.

The energy in the room reflected the excitement around Australia’s first bilingual French-English graphic novel, which also features Auslan.

Guests enjoyed a dynamic presentation on visual storytelling and language learning, followed by a fantastic interactive workshop by Paris and Freddie Illustrator Joanna Hassam creating wonderful renditions of Freddie!

It was a proud and inspiring moment for language education and sequential art in Australia.

Special thanks to the City of Marion Libraries for generously sponsoring the launch and supporting this celebration of multilingual creativity.

More fantastic news with a Spanish-English edition of book one coming soon!

Perfect for Year 6 to adult French and English learners, Paris and Freddie’s first escapade is packed with excitement, intrigue, visual storytelling, and a celebration of languages.
