About
Originally from the north-east of England, I am a teacher who has been based in Barcelona,Catalonia for over eleven years now.
Although I mainly teach EFL (English as a Foreign Language), I am also involved in esp & content teaching at university and polytechnic level (including Catalan Culture, Customer Relations for Tourism, Theme Tourism).
I am particularly interested in the use of ICT in education: blogs, podcasting, online communities and web-based tools that can be used for e-learning/blended learning.
