My recent PhD research project explored how creative writing can impact individuals bereaved by addiction. In particular, it examined the impact creative writing has on adults who have accessed, or are currently accessing, services offered by organisations specialising in bereavement or family addiction across England and Wales.

Current critical research projects explore how writing can impact women with mental health conditions; the impact that community writers groups have on writers in Wales; and the poetic representations of femininity and masculinity in rodeo riding. 

I am currently working on my third poetry collection, Breaking a Mare, which was awarded a Literature Wales Writers' Bursary in 2018. Poems from this collection have recently been shortlisted in the 2020 Buzzwords Open Competition and the 2020 Ver Poets Open Competition, among others.  

Community Outreach Projects

I founded and continue run the largest writers' group in Wales, Roath Writers . This group meets twice a month and aims to provide a welcoming space for writers of all levels to write, develop, and share their work in an informal workshop environment.

I am also a Widening Access tutor at Cardiff Metropolitan University which means I am engaged in ongoing projects that aim to bring creative writing into schools and the wider community.

A list of my past community outreach projects linked to bereavement, mental health, addiction and more can be found on my website .

I am an American poet, fiction and nonfiction writer with research interests in contemporary poetry, creative writing pedagogy and the role of creative writing in therapeutic and community contexts. I am also interested in interdisciplinary creative writing research within the social sciences and medical humanities.

I joined Cardiff Metropolitan University full-time in January 2019 and teach at undergraduate and postgraduate levels. Before starting my role here, I completed a BSc in English Literature and Secondary Education (Temple University), an MA in the Teaching and Practicing of Creative Writing (Cardiff University) and an MA in Equity Issues in Education (University of York). My Master's degrees were both undertaken with the aid of a Marshall Scholarship . In 2020, I completed my PhD at Cardiff University which explores how creative writing can impact those bereaved by addiction.

I have published two poetry collections with Parthian Books: More than you were (2017) and How to Carry Fire (2020). I am also the Poetry Editor of  The Cardiff Review , a tutor for The Poetry School , and a member of the Literature Wales Management Board .

Miss Briony Goffin

Creative writing tutor

Briony is a writer, teacher and mentor. She has published widely on the art of teaching creative writing & supporting the student writer to fulfil their creative potential. In 2012, she was awarded Inspirational Tutor of the Year by NIACE Dysgu Cymru. In 2014, Briony spoke on the subject of Writing as Tribute to a global audience for TEDxCardiff. Briony is a Professional Member of LAPIDUS & The National Association of Writers in Education.

I have published widely on the art of teaching creative writing and supporting the emergent writer/student to fulfil their creative potential. I am a specialist in facilitating workshops for vulnerable or marginalised adults, particularly individuals with mental health problems.

I am currently involved in a 3-year project that aims to enable individuals, through workshops and one-to-one meetings, to write their first-hand experiences of Whitchurch Hospital in Cardiff.

My own writing takes the form of the lyrical essay, which laces together autobiographical fragments, theories and reflections on the moments and encounters that shape our world.

I also have a keen interest in interdisciplinary relations between creative writing and other art forms, particularly the photographic and conceptual arts.

My current creative output examines the processes and consequences of collaborative relationships between artists and addresses the possibilities and difficulties of multi-media expression.

An Overview of the IELTS

The International English Language Testing System (IELTS) is designed to measure English proficiency for educational, vocational and immigration purposes. The IELTS measures an individual's ability to communicate in English across four areas of language: listening , reading , writing and speaking . The IELTS is administered jointly by the British Council, IDP: IELTS Australia and Cambridge English Language Assessment at over 1,100 test centres and 140 countries. These test centres supervise the local administration of the test and recruit, train and monitor IELTS examiners.

IELTS tests are available on 48 fixed dates each year, usually Saturdays and sometimes Thursdays, and may be offered up to four times a month at any test centre, including Elektrostal' depending on local needs. Go to IELTS test locations to find a test centre in or nearby Elektrostal' and to check for upcoming test dates at your test centre.

Test results are available online 13 days after your test date. You can either receive your Test Report Form by post or collect it from the Test Centre. You will normally only receive one copy of the Test Report Form, though you may ask for a second copy if you are applying to the UK or Canada for immigration purposes - be sure to specify this when you register for IELTS. You may ask for up to 5 copies of your Test Report Form to be sent directly to other organisations, such as universities.

There are no restrictions on re-sitting the IELTS. However, you would need to allow sufficient time to complete the registration procedures again and find a suitable test date.

SHARE THIS PAGE

The reading, writing and listening practice tests on this website have been designed to resemble the format of the IELTS test as closely as possible. They are not, however, real IELTS tests; they are designed to practise exam technique to help students to face the IELTS test with confidence and to perform to the best of their ability.

Murder in Moscow: The Oblast Court Trial

This isn’t about wine – it’s about something to read… while drinking wine.

An accidental shooting, a teenager’s death, and the resulting trial lead to some astounding results. Alexandr Bazenov only wanted to protect his property from thieves. Instead, his murder trial raises questions from Russian law students on the bias of the judge, laws concerning private property, and the realization that there might be a deeper agenda – one that concerns all citizens.

You can get a copy of this deeply absorbing book for free. Go to Frank Daley’s website to find out more.

FIRST REVIEWS

“Fabulous and enthralling from start to finish! Alexandr Bazenov only wanted to protect his property from thieves. Instead, his murder trial raises questions on the bias of the judge, private property, and a deeper agenda.” —International Review of Books

“I liked this novel a lot. Truly shocking! The author did a good job writing it with a cold (dispassionate) tone. It felt almost as if he was reporting it. The story was fascinating. Excellent for book clubs or anyone interested in law!” —International Review of Books

“Great writing! A really great story wonderfully put together. Intense!” —J. Langstaff

“Will leave you shocked and chilled by the verdict! A growing horror. (As Churchill said of Russia: ‘A riddle, wrapped in a mystery, inside an enigma.’)” —REM

“A tightly written courtroom drama that pits the rights of the individual against the Russian legal system. Bravo!” —Tony Aspler

Frank Daley writes fiction and nonfiction (Self-Knowledge) in Southern Ontario.
