Ms Sally Staddon
Biography
I completed a degree in French and Spanish and a Masters degree in the UK and then worked in the UK and in France for a publishing company (interesting) and an engineering company (less interesting). I subsequently completed a post-graduate diploma in teaching and taught French (Business French, Tourism French, Modern European Studies) at Ealing College of Higher Education. I moved to Australia and Monash University in 1989.
Teaching responsibilities
I teach and coordinate the Beginners French units (FRN1010/2010 & FRN1020/2020 - French Studies 1 & 2) and Business French (FRN2701/FRN3701). I supervise individual options (FRN2710/FRN3812) in the areas of inter-cultural communication, French for special purposes and French language. I also coordinate French Summer Semester Studies Abroad. I am the convenor of the Monash arm of the National Centre for Language Training.

Research interests
I have worked in Computer Assisted Language Learning (CALL) since the mid-1980s up until recently. Whilst maintaining an interest in CALL I have now moved on to begin a three year study of the attitudes and motivation of beginner French students and how these evolve as their studies progress over the course of one, two or three years.
