Hello
Thank you for visiting my website. I hope you dig a little deeper so that you can get to know me and my work better. I want to share some of my stories, materials and ideas regarding teaching, and learning English.
My Story
I have been working in the field of English Language Teaching for 30 years, both as a teacher and ELT author. However, I am also a storyteller and have travelled extensively around Italy and other parts of the world to tell my stories, and spread the message that words are powerful.I have also been involved in writing many course books and twelve of my graded readers have been published, five of which have won Extensive Reading Foundation Language Learner Literature Awards. In 2017 I was invited to be on the board of directors of the Extensive Reading Foundation.
Over recent years, together with my band, 'Eggheads', I have been experimenting with music and examining how songs can go hand in hand with stories to enhance the language learning process.I set up this website because I wanted to establish a connection with teachers and students from all over the world. I will update the site, and the blog regularly so feel free to pop in whenever you can and keep in touch.
