My research and professional interests

I am presently working on my doctoral thesis, which studies the development of
Translation Competence in students at our department

I am also particularly interested in applying ICT to learning language and translation skills. 
In 1996-7, while working in the Language Centre, I participated in a joint 
Internet-based language education project of the Language Centres 
of four Finnish universities called The LanguageNet. 
It has a good collection of  links to pages for learning languages. 

In 2001-2003 I attended a 5 credit TieVie training program aimed at preparing teachers 
to use IT in their teaching and to promote the Finnish Virtual University project. 

Free-time interests

I am a member of the Salo Chamber Choir and enjoy singing in a group. 

I am a member of the World-wide Bahá'í Community. 
If you are interested, read more about it in English or Finnish.
