About – The Learning Journey

Hello, I’m Rifna Farwin Rajabdeen.

I am an English Language Teaching (ELT) researcher and educator with an MA in TESOL from Nottingham Trent University, UK. My work focuses on primary English education, storytelling, vocabulary development, literacy, and research-informed classroom practice.

My research explores how storytelling and visual story mapping can enhance vocabulary learning and reading comprehension among young learners. I am passionate about creating engaging, practical, and evidence-based teaching strategies that support teachers, parents, and children.

I have published and presented work in English language teaching and continue to contribute to the field through educational articles, classroom resources, and professional development.

Through The Learning Journey, I aim to share:

Research-based teaching strategies
Practical classroom activities
Literacy and vocabulary resources
Ideas for primary teachers and parents
Educational articles inspired by current research

Thank you for visiting. I hope these resources inspire meaningful and enjoyable learning experiences for every child.
