Clive Forrester

I've been teaching academic writing and linguistics at the undergraduate level for roughly 12 years now, at all levels of the undergraduate program, and at five different institutions throughout my career.

I spent three years (2005-2008) lecturing at UWI, Mona, and UTech, Jamaica before moving to Canada to take up a visiting professor appointment in the Department of Languages, Literatures, and Linguistics at York University. I developed and taught three courses on Jamaican Creole - introducing students to the language and culture of Jamaica through a foreign language teaching model. What was meant to be a one-year engagement turned into a tenure of eight years which ended in 2016 with my full-time appointment at the University of Waterloo.

Since August 2016 I've been in the Department of English Language & Literature at the University of Waterloo where I teach courses in academic and technical writing, as well as introductory linguistics.
