Susanna Zeitler Lyne

I am a lecturer in English for academic and professional purposes at KTH Language and Communication, a division in the ITM school's Department of Learning in the Engineering Sciences. I am responsible for Essential STEM Communication in English (LS1452), English for Employment (LS2442), and Advancing in English for academic and professional purposes (LS2443). In the course Writing Scientific Articles (FDS3102) I help doctoral students improve the structure and language of their research papers, and I help newly arrived international students on the summer course Pre-sessional English for Masters study. Part of my time is devoted to teaching academic writing in Swedish, mainly on DA1600, Writing in the Engineering Profession.

In the Centre for Academic Writing and Rhetoric I work with individual students, giving support in either English or Swedish. In my role as a writing centre tutor. I am currently on the committee for the Network for Writing Centres and Study Skills Centres in the Nordics (Nätverket för språk- och studieverkstäder i Norden).

Together with Jamie Rinder and Jane Bottomley, I have developed the KTH Guide to scientific writing in English, launched in 2022. I take great interest in language policy issues in higher education, and I'm a member of the KTH Language Committee (Språkkommittén).

I received my PhD in English Linguistics from Uppsala University in 2011, with the corpus-based studyThe Subject of the Verbal Gerund. A Study of Variation in English.
