James has been working in English language teaching for more than two decades. Since then, his career has taken him all over the world. He has worked in a variety of contexts, including as a university lecturer, and spent many years working in academic management, first as a Director of Studies and then overseeing academic management teams. He’s particularly interested in second language acquisition theory and how that translates to classroom practice. His love of his work means that the first 20 years have flown by! In his free time, he can mostly be found seeking out new eateries!
