One Degree of Aberration. Studying for a Masters degree: trials and tribulations. Tuesday, September 17, 2013. Well, here it is. the beginning of the end of the "Neverending Story". That's right.I'm about to embark on the final year of my MA. Let me tell you.3 years is too long to spend on an MA. All you smartypants out there thinking that this might be a good idea. 2 words: ONE. YEAR. It would probably be a good idea to have an idea of what kind of topic I'd like to research. I don't.

One Degree of Aberration. Studying for a Masters degree: trials and tribulations. Sunday, July 22, 2012.

I'm about to start a new job on Monday and they have asked me to bring my degree. Original. Not a copy. Can't work here without producing it. Why does the ESL industry have such a hard time believing that someone who has ...

Stories of a learning teacher. Friday, May 25, 2012. The other day i posted one of these shots on facebook. Hundreds (not literally) of people liked it.

Stories of a learning teacher. Thursday, June 30, 2011. My TEFL existential Identity crisis. Over recent weeks there has been a thread picked up on by David Dogson, Isil Boy and my other colleagues at the University of Manchester, that of having a ten years in ELT crisis. This is not a new phenomenon, and has been reported, though I can't find the reference right now, (help please! I feel reassured by Gary's comments on my previous post, his re-framing of specialisation to specialisation s. It is a good ...
