Author Information

Scott Thornbury has broad experience in what is perhaps a narrow field, having worked in the private EFL sector all his working life, as teacher, director of studies, school director and teacher-trainer, now in Spain (where he lives), but previously in Egypt and with short stints in the UK and native New Zealand. All this time he has been working alongside practising teachers, and has never been far from the classroom, although more often as spectator than as protagonist. Teacher education has always been his special interest and was the subject of his MA dissertation at the University of Reading.
