Welcome at my homepage. My name is Alessandra Corda. I was born in Torino, Italy, and moved to the Netherlands in 1988. I work as program manager and strategic advisor at the Faculty of Education, AUAS (Hogeschool van Amsterdam) and am a member of the Faculty board. I have a broad interest in educational policy, educational research, technology in education, teacher training and teacher professional development. I am specialized in foreign and second language learning and teaching, and in the use of technology for language teaching. I coordinate the National Centre for Modern Languages, a joint project of Leiden University and the Hogeschool van Amsterdam. Here you find information about my past and present work and my publications.
