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 material here so far is primarily for ELT 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 (now updated).

 PUBLISHING CORNER

Currently I’m a media and communication consultant (see here for further details if you are interested!) as well as doing a part-time PhD. 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.

To go with these, there is a new page on copyright, contracts, fees and royalties.

There is also a new list of useful publishing links.
Finally, for aspiring publishing professionals and people already in the industry who want to upgrade their skills, there is an updated page on publishing courses around the world.

Updating completed!




 The last two years have been a busy period for
 me. I changed continents twice and started a  PhD, not to mention marrying my wife Nella...





... and acquiring a dog called Emile. (If you think the dog shouldn't make a lot of difference, you probably don't have a dog!)

The website has suffered, but I’ve now (May 2008) finished updating the links and making other minor changes to the existing pages, as well as adding a couple of new items.

If you've been here before, you may notice a few graphic improvements too, though the site probably still won't win any prizes for web design!

 I’m aiming to do regular updates from now on, and to add new pages as time  permits.
