Teaching
I have been teaching English and preparing English teachers for more than a decade, in secondary schools, language institutes, and universities in Chile, Australia, and the US. Most of my teaching now happens in teacher education, where I try to connect what we know about language learning and assessment with what teachers can realistically do in their classrooms.
