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 the profession while trying to have rewarding experiences in foreign lands and cultures that I was interested in. It turned into a career that has taken me to Korea, Japan, Indonesia, and Thailand. 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, military, police, staff of NGOs, airlines, and cruise ships, and to future chefs. I have also led teacher training and workshops for foreign English, science, and math teachers.
Currently, I am an English Language Fellow, which means I work for the U.S. State Dept's Burea of Educational & Cultural Affairs to help spread educational know-how and love from America to Indonesia. My last posting was at IAIN (State Islamic Institute) in Palangka Raya, Central Kalimantan; my current is at the Indonesian Nat'l Police Academy (AKPOL) in Semarang.
Feel free to contact me with any Qs or if you would like me to give a workshop or speak at your institute/school.
