My name is Scott Thornbury. I'm a teacher and teacher educator, with
over
30 years' experience in English language teaching, and an MA from the
University of Reading. I am currently Associate Professor of English
Language Studies at the New
School in New York, where I
teach on an on-line MATESOL program. My previous experience includes
teaching and teacher training in Egypt, UK, Spain (where I live), and
in my native New Zealand. My writing credits include several award-winning books for teachers on language and methodology. I am series editor
for the Cambridge
Handbooks for Teachers (CUP). I was also the co-founder of the dogme ELT group, whose archived website, called Teaching Unplugged, can be found here.
