Dr Diana Tremayne

Lecturer

Diana is a lecturer in the School of Education and currently lectures on the Distance Learning PGCE. She has recently completed her doctoral study which explores how online teacher-learning communities support professional learning and teacher agency.

Diana's background is in further education where she worked as an ESOL lecturer and advanced learning practitioner for 15 years. She is also involved with NATECLA which is the professional organisation for ESOL teachers. This has helped to shape her interest in informal professional learning where she explores the use of Twitter chats to support professional learning and the development of teacher agency.

Diana has taught on the DL PGCE for the last three years and has a keen interest in digital pedagogies and online communities for students and teachers. She previously completed her MA in English Language Teaching at Leeds Beckett University.
