As 2018 draws to a close it's a time for reflection and making plans for what is to come.
2018 was awesome. Late 2017 I had a stroke of genius to super-simplify the bare bones of spoken English and present those bones in a way that any one, even those with no formal training could effectively coach a learner's conversation improvement. Sounds, words, sentences, connected speech, expressions and non-verbal clues are all there really is to dialogue and those topics broke down nicely into three separate booklets - Pronunciation, Conversation and Fluency.
The Greatest English Language Teaching Mind in the World Today
In 2012. I noticed eight English teachers from my vast array of global connections who were head and shoulders ahead of the curve as far as teaching English was concerned. Rita Baker - UK, Peggy Tharpe - USA, Judit Angeli - Hungary, Teresa Almeida d'Eca - Portugal, Jennifer England - Spain, Jason West - UK, Andrew Weiler - Australia. Denise Eide - USA and me - Canada. All of us had experienced so much frustration and dismay with the lame way ESL, EFL, ELL... were being taught, we each had developed new and vastly superior programs.
