About

Dr Svitlana Tubaltseva has a cross disciplinary background in Corpus Linguistics, Discourse Analysis, EAP and AI literacy. Before joining Richmond University, she had worked in various educational institutions across the globe (Ukraine, Russia, Slovakia, China) and specialised in designing curricula, developing teaching materials, and formulating assignments for courses such as EAP, English Oracy and Literacy, Business English, ESP, and Study Skills. She organised and chaired several academic international conferences. She gained her PhD: “Construction of the dichotomy of Us versus Them in the news reports on the Ukrainian revolution Euromaidan 2014: corpus-driven discourse analysis of the American, Russian and Ukrainian media” University of Roehampton.

Her current research focuses on the integration of AI in teaching assessment and material design. She is running two big research projects in conjunction with King’s College London (the Institute of Psychiatry, Psychology & Neuroscience and Department of Education and Assessment). She also leads a research project on the integration of AI in the academic literacy courses and gauging students’ perception at Richmond and collaborate with colleagues from Department of Psychology.
