I have also worked on Summer EAP programmes at Brunel University and most recently at Newcastle University in the UK (with INTO). I now live in Gijon where I work for Lawton School with learners of all ages but particularly with adults preparing to do the Cambridge First Certificate and Advanced Certificate exams as well as in companies. I recently studied New Technologies in Teaching with the UNED and I have a great interest in this area. I am always interested to improve as a teacher and enjoy every opportunity to share with fellow teachers.
