This morning I has an amazing conversation with Dr Anne Margaret Smith about her teaching career, her work as a dyslexia assessor, immigration, neurodiversity, music and studying to become a speech and language therapist.
Dr Anne Margaret Smith started teaching English as a foreign/additional language around 30 years ago. She is also a dyslexia assessor and specialist tutor and has designed an assessment tool to allow us to identify SpLDs in multilingual people. She founded ELT well in 2005, to combine these two fields of education, and offers professional development and resources to language teachers in all contexts. She is currently also training to be a Speech and Language Therapist. For more information, visit: www.ELTwell.com
