Overview
I write, edit and provide editorial consultancy on ELT coursebooks, language reference titles and teaching methodology materials, both digital and print. I'm particularly interested in developments in the areas of learner autonomy and critical thinking, and in the use of digital materials as an adjunct to face-to-face teaching and learning.
