About EduLight



Annamarie Mostert

I have 38 years’ experience in editing a variety of text types and in conducting research

on the acquisition of English as a second and as a foreign language; assessment and

language programme evaluation; the development of effective education

management and quality assurance strategies; and the development of learning and

teaching material according to curriculum requirements.

I have 32 years’ experience in teaching and mentoring English teachers

and subject advisers at district and at national level. I have three years’ experience in mentoring academic writing consultants to support postgraduate students in developing their academic writing skills.

Recently, I have facilitated the development of lecturers’ article writing skills

during a retreat.

My experience as facilitator and presenter of workshops to education

managers and to non-governmental national and international partners totals 23

years.

I have been doing translations from English to Afrikaans texts during the course of my career, especially after having completed courses in translation methodology and practice.

For the past four years, I have managed and edited the double-blind peer reviewed publication of two guest edited academic journals.

During this period, I have also been the supporting editor of 25 bimonthly publications of TaxTalk, the South African Institute for Taxation's journal for tax practitioners.
