Subtle Satori IATEFL TDSIG

I look back on the time that we lived in Vientiane, Laos very fondly and in fact often question why we ever left. The city was opening to the world back then and seemed to change daily and I’m sure that it would be unrecognizable now, but memory has a way of playing tricks on us. Even if there were no change, I’m sure the image I hold might not match reality.

I was asked to write a piece about my development as a teacher and as  Director of Studies of a large language school and Laos kept coming to mind. My story was recently published in IATEFL’s Teacher Development Special Interest Group newsletter. It’s a journey rather than an academic look at change but I suppose all change has something of a journey inherent in it. A quick link here.
