Nikki Fořtová is a lecturer on the MA in Teaching at Masaryk University. She is also a CELTA and Oxford Teachers Academy trainer. Her ELT research interests lie classroom interaction, reflection, and the use of technology. Her current doctoral research explores corrective feedback by teachers at different stages in their career and in different classroom environments. Nikki enjoys playing the piano, running, and hula hooping. She isn’t very good at any of these but keeps a growth mindset about it all, so maybe one day she will be.
