On returning, a year of teacher training, specialising in English in UK secondary schools, persuaded me that adult ELT might be more in my line, and I joined an adult education organisation in Sweden called Folkuniversitetet.Īpparently it was the fact that I’d mentioned the Andes on my CV that encouraged Folkuniversitetet to send me to the Swedish far north. Memories of this has meant that, in my own materials writing, appropriate language input for the level has been one of my aims.Ī Spanish degree at Edinburgh University followed, and then a gap year travelling around Latin America. In our first year French coursebook, I was intrigued by a certain Monsieur Oublietout (Forget-all) who was asking his way to, of all places, the barracks. This book seemed extremely exotic in 1950s south London, and was one of the things that got me interested in languages at school. I’ve always been interested in language, languages and language learning, ever since an uncle lent me his Teach Yourself Serbo-Croat. ![]()
