TEFL Teacher Course
David
Pope brings with him into the classroom a truly remarkable
background in the field of EFL. Having completed his master's
degree in modern languages at Cambridge University, he went on to obtain
another master's degree in intercultural relations at Victoria
University. He later acquired his CELTA certification at Cambridge
University, and his postgraduate certificate in education at Durham
University. Currently one of Shanghai's leading consultants in the
areas of English-language training and intercultural relations, David
has also written a book for Cambridge University Press on the subject of
teaching EFL in China. David's professional roles in the field of
EFL have included university lecturer, senior teacher, assistant
director of studies, and school principal, for a broad variety of
schools and universities. He has successfully synthesized the
management, teaching, and learning styles of many different cultures to
effectively hire, train, and manage a diverse range of teachers and
support personnel. He has taught at middle schools, high schools,
universities, private language schools and multi-national corporations,
as well as private tutoring, including English, conversational English,
English for academic purposes (including academic writing), business
English, exam preparation (FCE, CAE, CPE, IELTS, TOEIC and TOEFL),
English for special purposes (banking, accounting, marketing, tourism
and hospitality), and high school and university preparation.
David possesses extensive experience in curricula design and resource
development.
Having been interested in language learning since early childhood, David
has studied and is conversational in 6 different languages, including
French, German, Dutch, Maori, Czech, and Chinese. His experiences
as a language learner have heavily influenced his teaching style, which
combines a solid foundation of grammar within a communicative framework,
and have given him a unique insight into ways of enabling his students
to solve their own language problems. Additionally, his background
as a professional classical singer has given him a special interest in
teaching pronunciation.
Michael Ford
holds both a master's degree in English education and a bachelor's in
educational studies from the University of Pennsylvania, and is a
recognized scholar and author on the subject of cross-cultural learning.
As Academic Coordinator for Capilano College, Vancouver, BC (Zhejiang
Gong Shang University Campus), Mike has designed, taught, and managed a
variety of postgraduate-level EFL learning programs. An expert in
the field of language acquisition, Mike is on the cutting edge of
progressive pedagogical methodology which focuses on emotional,
sociological, cognitive, attitudinal, and psychological education.
Mike draws upon the most-advanced methods and techniques to incorporate
into language instruction topics steeped in cultural differentials.
This method emphasizes Choice Theory and "Essence" instruction, rather
than the more conventional methodology typically utilized in
foreign-language instruction. At the core of this system is the
importance of developing culturally-appropriate curricula according to
multiple perspectives / intelligences. Mike is also an expert in
the area of combining technology and education in order to optimize the
individual learning experience.
Peter Farber
holds a bachelor's degree from the State University of New York at
Binghamton and a master's degree in education from the City University
of New York. He is also a Permanently-Certified Teacher in New
York City and New York State (the highest certification awarded).
Few people in the world know TEFL as Peter knows it. Beginning at
the age of 12, Peter’s teaching experiences span an astounding 25
countries, and include every level and category of English, from
preschool to PhD, students aged 3 to 80. As the owner and vice
president of DaShan and New Idea Foreign Language schools, Peter has
founded, built, and developed hundreds of English-language training
centers across China, and has hired, trained, and supervised literally
thousands of teachers. More recently, Peter has served as Director
of Education for Shanghai Jiao Tong ONLY International Education Group,
where he was responsible for the training and supervision of teachers at
more than 200 schools in 15 provinces. He also headed Adult
Programs at Yew Wah International Education in Shanghai, and is
currently director of studies at EF Shanghai. Peter is writing a
book about the effective teaching of EFL in China, which draws upon his
classroom experiences with tens of thousands of TEFL students from every
age group, level, and walk of life.
For the past eight years, Robb Ross has effectively dedicated his
life to intercultural communication, TEFL, and teacher training.
He has been a featured lecturer at the prominent AsiaTEFL
Conference on topics such as "Language as Culture" and "The
Globalization of TEFL Learning Materials." He is also a well-known
television actor and radio personality in South Korea, where he starred
in such popular English-language learning programs as Come on Kids
and English for Young Learners. Robb holds a bachelor's
degree in English literature from Simon Fraser University in Vancouver
and a Master's degree in TESOL from the University of Edinburgh.
For the past eight years, Robb has taught at language schools and
universities in South Korea, the Czech Republic, and the UK, spanning
nearly every level and type of EFL, from toddlers to graduate students
and corporate executives, with specialties in English for academic
purposes (EAP) and teacher training (TESOL). Robb has designed and
taught TESOL courses at South Korea's premier foreign language
university, which included TESOL methodology, culture and pragmatics,
and materials development. He has published articles in the
academic journal English Language Teaching, including "Cultural
Awareness in EFL Instruction: Rationale and Suggestions for
Implementation." Robb is an active member of the Korean
Association of Teachers of English (KATE) and the Pan-Korea English
Teachers Association (PKETA). His research interests are centered
on cross-cultural communication and the implications of the emergence of
English as an international language within EFL teaching and learning
contexts. Integral to his research is the exploration of how
materials and lessons can better address the needs of culture-specific
language learners toward fostering their ability to communicate more
successfully.
