Charline Rouffet
Charline Rouffet has been affiliated with the research group Multilingualism and Education since 2016. Her doctoral research project explored the influence of communicative assessments on foreign language teachers’ pedagogical approaches.
Charline studied Literary Studies at the University of Nîmes and at Université Paris-IV Sorbonne, where she obtained her Master of Arts in Literary Studies in 2005. After completing a Master’s degree in French Language and Culture at the Vrije Universiteit Amsterdam in 2006, she obtained her teaching qualification in French at the same university. Her practice-based research project focused on the use of the target language as the language of instruction within the context of TaBaSCO (Task Based School Organisation for the Acquisition of Language), a project promoting a task-based approach to language learning. She subsequently worked as a French teacher in the lower and upper forms of several secondary schools in the Netherland.
Since 2010, she has been working as a teacher educator in modern foreign languages at HU University of Applied Sciences Utrecht, where she teaches French literature, language skills and methodology courses, and supervises Master’s students’ practice-based research projects.
