During a long career in TEFL, Anna has worked in all first and middle management roles and, through her co-founding and management of Capital Institute (the International House school in Oman) has had invaluable experience in teaching and writing for monolingual and monocultural groups, the majority of language learners around the world. Her time working in the Middle East provided her with a great deal of insight into ways of helping learners of an exotic language to learn English. Regarding materials development, as a co-author of the Progressive Skills in English series of books for academic English, and the Moving into ... series for academic and vocational English, Anna has had the opportunity to look at fresh ideas for the teaching of English. These include content- and skills-based approaches, as well as courses based on syntactic grammar syllabuses.
