About
Silvia Purpuri
EFL teacher and course developer. I have been teaching English and Italian as foreign languages to adults and young learners since I graduated in 2002, cooperating with several schools and educational organizations. I have studied in Italy first, then in Wales (UK), where I got my CPE (Cambridge Certificate of Proficiency in English) and took a TEFL examination. I love the English and Italian languages and enjoy teaching them. I also have a passion for e-learning and have recently contributed to a fully on line university degree at a State University in the north east of Italy: e-tutor first and project manager then. I have worked on Dokeos and followed workshops on Blackboard and Moodle (Moodle for Teachers, elementary and advanced – IT4ALL, WiZIQ and the University of Phoenix - Arizona). I have been an online moderator twice for the annual IATEFL (International Association of Teachers of English as a Foreign Language) Conference (in Cardiff -Wales 2008 and Harrogate - England 2009). I hold a Masters in Tourism Management. I currently cooperate with Horizons University, SUNY Empire State College (New York) and the University of Trento (northern Italy). Meet me in SL as Sunflower Lionheart.
