Leo Will teaches TEFL (Teaching English as a Foreign Language) at the English department of JLU. He is currently conducting phenomenological research into pre-service language teacher education in Germany. The study investigates EFL teachers’ memories of the university experience, with results standing to inform language teacher education in various degrees of granularity. Beside his duties at JLU, Dr. Will is an adjunct professor at Saint Mary’s University Halifax (Canada) and a consultant for LEO.org GmbH. He also held a temporary position as full professor (W3) at Augsburg University from 2022 to 2023. Dr. Will has co-authored an EFL textbook for English teaching in year 5 where teachers often deal with highly heterogeneous learner groups. He earned his PhD at LMU Munich, supervised by Friederike Klippel. His thesis is entitled “Authenticity in English language teaching” and was published via Waxmann in 2018.
