Caroline Godfrey is a PhD student at Aston University. Having been an English teacher for 13 years, her current research deliberately intersects the fields of English Education and Applied Linguistics, principally using metaphor studies as a way to explore the conceptualisation of school subject English at the level of policy and within the language of practising teachers. Caroline is interested in the diverse applications of systematic metaphor analysis and the variety of issues that affect the way that English is taught in the classroom today.
