Educational philosophy
Learning should be enjoyable and, dare it be said, fun. Learning never ends, it is a life-long process.
Students need sound pedagogical guidance and help to make informed decisions about learning. In a multi-media age, students are bombarded with information, but lack the experience and knowledge about how to best take advantage.
Teaching is about facilitating learning processes, motivating and making it easy for students to learn.
Teachers have to be well-informed and up-to-date.
My aim is to present up-to-date information and facts about the different Englishes around the world in an entertaining way to benefit teachers and their students.
Always new There is so much to know about English and there are so many innovations in the language that it is hardly necessary to repeat any material. I usually say that 97½% of the content on any course has not been presented before.
Rather than lectures, I would like to think that I provide Adventures in English.
What I do
- I hold a course for teachers consisting of new material almost every year. The current course is here.
- I offer study days, which should properly be called professional development (fortbildning in Swedish). You ask me to come to your school or college and let me know what subjects you would like to cover. Click here for ideas.
- Adventures in English for students can also be study days. From 1,500 sixth-form students in Falun to 30 year 7 pupils in Växjö. I can provide a memorable learning experience for your young people.
