I have been an active member of the English Language Teaching community since 1993, working as a teacher and teacher trainer. While developing my skills as a teacher and trainer, I have also been an active member of a group of teacher dedicated to increase the amount of creativity found in language classrooms throughout the world. I have been a committee member of the Creativity Group for two years, and have published book chapters on 'Teaching Children with Mascot-Inspired Projects' (British Council 2015) and the importance of creativity and play in language learning (British Council, 2017). I have also published articles in several ELT Journals all over the world.
In addition to teaching and writing book chapters and articles, I write poems and short stories for language learners. I am also part of a new movement in ELT which uses blog and other social media to quickly disseminate new ideas in the area. Furthermore, I am a conference presenter, having presented in many countries, such as England, Scotland, France, Greece, Hungary, UAE, Indonesia, Japan, and Brazil, as well as many online conferences.
On a more personal note, I love travelling, reading and writing, dogs, flowers, and chocolate. But most of all, I love being in the classroom with my students, showing how creativity can play an essential role in language learning.
