Thanks to everyone who came to my presentations this spring and summer! Read about them in my blog, take at look at the pictures or look on this page for free downloads.

I'm very proud to announce that there is a new series out by McGraw Hill called We Can! (written by Yoko Matsuka and Glenn McDougall) I have been very busy writing the Teacher's Guides for this series and am looking forward to introducing it to EFL teachers in Japan.
