Claire McGrath
Lector
I am the newest Lektorin here at the SEP, having started in April of 2025. However, I have been teaching various types of English courses at this university for over 13 years. I come from Dublin and studied English Literature and Germanic Studies at Trinity College Dublin, with a special focus on German literature, in particular that of the Enlightenment period. I also spent a period of time studying at this university.
My own experience with language learning has shaped my approach to teaching English, and I love helping students develop confidence in the expression of their ideas. I particularly enjoy examining with them how texts work; a question important for both translation and academic writing in particular, both of which I teach here.
Classes:
- Academic Writing
- Oral Practice Course
- Introduction to Irish Culture and History
- Translation German into English
