2003 - 2008 Excel Language Learning Centre, Taipei, Taiwan

I was a full-time head teacher here, responsible for preparing new material and teaching examination techniques and reading, writing, listening and speaking skills for the IELTS test. In addition, I also conducted placement tests for new students and helped to train new teachers.

I also felt a need to focus more on developing English for Academic Purposes (EAP) courses for students who had passed the IELTS test and were waiting to travel abroad to study. The aim of each program was to prepare students for a more intensive learning environment where reading, writing, listening and speaking skills needed to be further improved. Study and note taking skills, time management, planning, researching, organising, re-writing, proof-reading paraphrasing, summarising, developing and presenting arguments and the avoidance of plagiarism were some of the aspects that were stressed.


1999 - 2003 Taiwan Anglo-French Institute, Taipei, Taiwan

I started teaching here in April 1999, and taught Business English, General Conversation, Grammar and Pronunciation. I also held several writing and discussion courses.

As a Cambridge University IELTS examiner, I did a lot of work in preparing students for this test. This involved teaching listening, writing, speaking and reading skills. I was promoted in 2002 and was put in charge of the IELTS syllabus and course development. This involved developing new reading material for several of our IELTS courses and I also regularly developed new material using articles from magazines and newspapers. In addition, I used various videos as a basis for developing different linguistic skills.
