Dan Frost

I am a teacher, researcher and teacher trainer based in Grenoble. I hold a French doctorate in English for Specific Purposes and Teaching Theory.

After reading Languages and Linguistics at York University and completing the CELTA in Leeds, I taught English in Thailand and Sweden before settling in France, where I obtained a Masters in English Phonetics at the University of Provence. I worked as a secondary school teacher for two years in Le Havre, then as a professeur agrégé for ten years in the Computer Science Department at the IUT2 in Grenoble and I am currently a maître de conferences (senior lecturer) in the department of Applied Foreign Languages (LEA) at the University of Chambéry, France. I also work with trainee teachers, especially in the area of teaching pronunciation.

My main research interests are teaching pronunciation, oral English and computer-mediated learning and motivation.

Apart from work and family, my main interests revolve around trying to have fun in the mountains without getting killed.
