Picture books and Learning to Learn: The Morning Break with Jane Ritter

This morning I spoke with Gail Ellis about the versatility of Picture Books and how they can be exploited. We then moved on to talk about learning to Learn.

Gail Ellis is an ELT young learner educator with over thirty years’ experience as a teacher, teacher educator, manager and author. She is a picturebook devotee and believer in the development of learner autonomy and an advocate for children’s rights and inclusive practices in the language classroom. Her publications include course books, supplementary materials, teacher handbooks as well as articles in books, journals, magazines and blogs.

Her most recent venture allows her to spread her passion for and knowledge of using picturebooks in Primary English Language Teaching. She is co-founder of PEPELT (Picturebooks in European Primary English Language Teaching) which aims to create an engaged and sharing community of teachers, librarians, teacher educators and researchers.
