I'm originally from a town called Macclesfield, near Manchester, in England, but after several years of traveling around the world, I settled in Hiroshima. When I get some free time I still enjoy traveling, food & drink, movies, music, watching football and learning languages (French & Spanish). In my professional life my main areas of interest are nonverbal communication, extensive reading, task-based language teaching, ESP (Nursing English) and materials development. I'm currently membership chair of JALT (全国語学研究学会) Hiroshima Chapter.
I teach Listening & Speaking, Writing, Basic Seminar.
