Well, if you're interested in this blog, odds are you work in EFL or education so let's start there. :) I've been working as an EFL teacher in Turkey for since 2000. I initially did my teacher training in Barcelona, Spain and Turkey was the first stop on an international adventure of language teaching and travelling. 11 years on, I'm still here as over the years, the desire to teach language has overtaken the desire to travel. I currently work with children in a private primary school but I have worked with adult learners as well, teaching both general English and prep classes for exams like IELTS, TOEFL and FCE.

P.S. How do I find out about what I’m interested in? The amount of information available on Twitter can be a bit overwhelming. Go to Tweetchat and type in a hashtag you’re interested in to find out what kind of information is being shared at the moment. What are all of these strange symbols? Looks interesting. Watch Russell Stannard‘s excellent step-by-step introduction to Twitter and follow his instructions. There are so many people on Twitter. There’s so much stuff here. You have 140 characters.
