About me

WELCOME INTO THE WEB OF ENGLISH
The
Web of English aims to offer worthwhile material for all those around the
world who are trying to learn that difficult but useful language, English
- and for those who are helping them to learn it.
The ELT material here so far is primarily for teachers and authors.
A
major feature is a materials writing checklist for anyone involved with developing materials for
language learning, whether for publication or just for private use. The
checklist focuses on English in the first instance. However, over the
years I've also worked with authors of materials for learners of French,
German, Spanish, Italian and Russian, and I hope the list will be of use to all
writers of language learning materials.
I've also listed links to ELT
websites I myself have found useful.
PUBLISHING CORNER
Currently I’m a media and communication consultant
(see here
for further details if you are interested!).
However, I was a publisher for many years (and in fact still offer publishing
training and other services now). So I've included a publishing corner for authors; the current pages offer some tips on
- submitting material to
publishing houses
- writing highly illustrated materials.
- copyright, contracts, fees and
royalties.
There is also list of useful publishing links.
Finally, for aspiring publishing professionals and people already in the
industry who want to upgrade their skills, there is a link to a very useful
resource listing publishing courses around the world.
