This morning I had a really inspirational conversation with Emma Heyderman about ELT Teaching, Training, Teaching Teens, Supporting Teachers and Schools and Materials writing. Emma wisely reminds that there is so much we can do in this profession and she is a shining example of this.
Emma has been in ELT since 1989. She has worked for several well-known language schools, most recently, as Director of Education for Lacunza – International House, San Sebastian. Now freelance, Emma is a published author for Macmillan (Interface and Get Involved) and Cambridge (Compact Key and Complete Preliminary). As an ELT Consultant, Emma has worked with institutions on course creation, syllabus design and assessment, lesson observation and feedback, and on designing their professional development programme. She also runs workshops for teachers and is a regular speaker at national and international events. Emma’s currently working with NILE on their new online course in ‘Teaching Teenagers’.
