More than teaching and translating

Like many people whose professional life covers a number of areas, a lot of what I do does not fit easily into simple categories. The purpose of this site, therefore, is to give a brief overview of some of the activities I am involved in and why I consider them to be important.

Nowadays, my time is divided between my ‘day job’ of running a language school and a number of other projects and commitments. Having spent more than thirty years as a translator, lecturer and language teacher, I am still involved in the day-to-day practice of English language teaching, but I am also increasingly finding time to express myself through articles, books and other media, and whilst my prime interests are firmly rooted in the fields of language, linguistics and methodology, my interests extend to other areas too. These include not only software development and new media projects but also topics as diverse as chaos theory, health policy, dental technology, Jacobean drama and the Edwardian music hall.
