Office Hours: by appointment

Josephine Cox teaches in the First Year Composition courses for international and domestic students in the Department of English as well as English for Academic Purposes in the international department (INTO-UAB). As adjunct, this has given her the opportunity to also be an instructor of violin and viola at music academies in the Birmingham area.

Ms. Cox holds degrees and teaching awards in music, language, and education from Samford University, The University of Memphis, Trinity College, London, and The University of Alabama, Birmingham-- B.M. Music Performance, B.A. German Literature and Composition, M.M. Music Performance, M.A.Ed TESOL* (theoretical studies), and Diploma TESOL (practical studies). Her professional background has taken her to three countries abroad beginning in 2007 teaching English in professional education, and has been working with students at the university level since 2014. Before coming to UAB in 2017 she was a remote instructor at UNIC Institute (formerly based in Russia) for English as an academic Lingua Franca to future teachers.

Ms.Cox believes that writing is the art of non-audible communication, and therefore involves the writer individually as well as the community the writer is in. Her writing classroom, much like her language acquisition classrooms, is interactive and based on communicative learning principles.
