LECTURING & TEACHING PORTFOLIO

Professional Engagement at Innovatus Campus My journey as a Visiting Lecturer in English at Innovatus Campus (Sri Lanka & UAE) has been both professionally fulfilling and personally transformative. I have been engaged in delivering lectures for a diverse range of degree programs, including MA in English, BA in English & B.Ed in TESOL MA in Education, BA in Early Childhood Education & B.Ed in Education This experience has provided me with the valuable opportunity to work with both undergraduate and postgraduate students from both Sri Lanka and the United Arab Emirates (UAE), each group bringing unique perspectives and learning needs into the classroom. Working with adult learners, particularly postgraduate students, required me to adapt my teaching approach significantly. Unlike traditional learners, these students come with rich professional backgrounds, practical experiences and clearly defined goals.

Today, I stand on the other side of the classroom as a Temporary Lecturer in English for Specific Purposes (ESP) at the Faculty of Computing and Technology, University of Kelaniya.

I work closely with undergraduate students from diverse degree programmes, incl...
