Hi. My name is Don. I have created this website because of my interest in teaching EFL and desire to offer useful info to fellow teachers and to EFL students.
Like a lot of English teachers, I got into English teaching while trying to have rewarding experiences in foreign lands and cultures I was interested in. It turned into a career. My job has taken me to Korea, Japan, Indonesia, and Thailand. And, I've taught all types of English to all kinds of students: general EFL to kids and adults of all ages and levels, business and technical English to office and factory personnel, English for Specific Purposes to civil servants and staff of NGOs, disaster relief agencies, airlines, and cruise ships, and to students in an international culinary program. I have also given teacher training to public school teachers of English, science, and math.
Currently, I am an English Language Fellow. That basically means I'm working for the man (U.S. government). Specifically, I am contracted by the State Dept's Burea of Educational & Cultural Affairs to help spread good educational practices (and American sunshine). My current assignment is at IAIN (State Islamic Institute) in Palangka Raya, Central Kalimantan, Indonesia. I often travel to other parts of Kalimantan or Indonesia to either participate in or give a workshop, conference, or training.
Feel free to contact me if you would like me to visit your school.
