I am a Cambridge University DELTA-qualified English teacher and have taught in various context in different countries.
I offer one-to-one and group courses for business and general English. I also provide teacher training sessions on web 2.0 tools and Second Life in language education.
I co-moderated the free 6-week EVO session "Virtual Worlds and Language Learning" in 2009 http://3.ly/tED and Teaching Languages in a Virtual World in 2010 http://3.ly/WdJb.
I am one of the five trainers of the certified teacher training pilot course in the EU-funded AVALON project http://avalon-project.ning.com.
My key interests include learner motivation, encouraging learner autonomy, ICT and the use of Web 2.0 tools and Virtual Worlds in teaching and learning languages.
I have finished the one-year postgraduate programme MUVEnation ‘Teaching and learning with MUVEs’ funded by the EU and am enrolled in the MA in Educational Technology and TESOL at the University of Manchester.
