Kirsty Bowie is Managing Director of Sharing One Language in Barnstaple which specialises in English language and cultural development through student immersion programmes and teacher training programmes both in England and abroad. She has a special interest in student engagement and global and generational diversity of language.

Scottish by birth, she has loved exploring language differences by locality in the UK and in other English speaking countries and in the true spirit of lifelong learning has followed as language has grown and developed through the decades and through technology.

Kirsty is a strong advocate of internationalism and cultural appreciation, loves travel, and knows the true personal learning experience that it brings.

Originally a school teacher for many years practising cross curricular learning, she found her heart in CLIL and ELT with a sideshow of being an assessment specialist.

Kirsty is also a qualified chef, project manager, and is completing a Master’s in law.
