Dr. Ning Liu graduated from the University of Nottingham Malaysia Campus, where the focus of his doctoral work was on contest discourse studies and systemic functional linguistics. The present work is also based on personal experience, as he has participated in several teaching competitions, providing him insight on these discourse events from an insider’s perspective and strengthened by contextual and analytical approaches. His previous publications focus on English language education in the Chinese context.Dr. Derek Irwin is an Associate Professor at the University of Nottingham Ningbo China and a Senior Research Fellow at the University of Nottingham Malaysia Campus.  He specializes in systemic functional linguistics and applied linguistics in general.

He is also a co-author of several writing guides for post-secondary students.

“Through their systemic and pedagogic analysis, Liu and Irwin show how winning examples of Mock Teaching are presented as exemplars of ESL pedagogy. … It shows the extracurricular translation of a pedagogic discourse and the implications of this translation for schooling. …This volume is recommended for all interested in discourse, particularly from a generic or SFL perspective, as well as those interested in the implications of teaching competitions on pedagogy.” (Thomas Amundrud, Word, Vol. 64 (3), 2018)
