Mark McAndrews, Ph.D.

Dr. McAndrews joined the faculty in January 2020 as a limited-term assistant professor. He currently teaches courses in the B.Ed. in TESL and M.A. in Applied Linguistics programs. He received his Ph.D. in Applied Linguistics from Northern Arizona University, and previously taught ESL/EFL/EAP at post-secondary institutions in the U.S. and China, and K-12 physical education in Nunavik. A native of Toronto, he is putting his French Immersion schooling to good use in Montréal.
