Hi. My name is Don. I 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, after many years of living in Asia, I am back in the U.S., working at Defense Language Institute's English Language Center in Texas. Most recently, I was an English Language Fellow, which meant I got to spread educational know-how and love from America to Indonesia, promoting the aims of the ECA, U.S. State Department, with postings at IAIN (State Islamic Institute) in Central Kalimantan and the Indonesian Nat'l Police Academy (AKPOL) in Central Java.
Feel free to contact me with any Qs or requests.
