Dr Viola Wiegand

About me

I am a Lecturer of Education (TESOL) and coordinate the MSc TESOL (Online) programme. I teach across our online and on-campus TESOL Master's programmes and carry out research in corpus linguistics and discourse analysis.

I joined Stirling in October 2022 from the University of Birmingham, where I was based for several years and most recently coordinated the development of a new TESOL microcredential. Previously, I was part of the team developing the CLiC Web App, a corpus tool for studying patterns in literary texts at Birmingham’s Centre for Corpus Research. I have also worked at the University of Bath’s Department of Education, as part of their TESOL team.
