I'm not sure I'm a very interesting subject ;) but since you ask, I started teaching in Japan and worked there for 5 years. I came back to the UK and got an MA and started teaching EAP. I went to Taiwan after that and worked in a Uni, and did some IELTS testing. Later I came back to the UK and am now working at a uni here :)mallingualhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13278408615407649532noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5714045366168902489.post-24242631270819693572014-09-21T04:50:30.717-07:002014-09-21T04:50:30.717-07:00Hello!

Any chance of that being added? <br /><br />Happy reading :-) Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5714045366168902489.post-67092662110702045612013-03-25T07:41:06.587-07:002013-03-25T07:41:06.587-07:00thanks James, do you listen to "skeptics guid...thanks James, do you listen to "skeptics guide to the universe"? <br /><br />red belt huh?

This post really sums up why you're blog has become essential reading as far as I'm concerned:<br /><br />- I'm a Ben Goldacre fan, and in the last couple of years have become a huge admirer of the skeptical movement in Britain and the US. My podcast subscriptions are testament to this.<br />- I have a red belt in taekwondo and am equally susceptible to a gust of wind.<br />- Any mention of Carl Sagan automatically wins.<br />- I consider critical thinking to be a key element of my lessons, even though I teach English, and to adults. It seems to me to be sadly lacking in a large part of the adult population.<br /><br />As Tyson says, your blog encourages us teachers to be more rigorous, thorough and questioning, qualities that are essential for progress, both personally and for our profession as a whole. So keep up the good work, we need you!hf,c,.jgvkhbj,.https://www.blogger.com/profile/13450893353483592561noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5714045366168902489.post-22205562590483606652013-03-21T18:40:30.197-07:002013-03-21T18:40:30.197-07:00Congrats on the milestone.
