Alvin Nouval

English Lecturer & Freelance Translator

I am an English for Specific Purposes (ESP) lecturer with experience in educational technology and higher education. I currently work at the State Polytechnic of Malang, where I support language learning through the use of digital tools.

Alongside teaching, I take on coordination roles related to international student selection, language testing, and translation services.

My main interest is supporting learners and educators in using technology confidently and appropriately for their learning and teaching needs.
