Welcome to this Website and a Word of Farewell
Dear Students, former and present,
Dear Fellow Teachers,
By the time you read this I will have retired from a job, perhaps better a vocation, that has meant so very much to me. It has made me think about a lot of different issues related to language, communication and performance and working with my kind and generous students has taught me as much about these topics as I hope it taught them.
One of the things about my work was to produce teaching materials that were informative, didactically apt and also visually engaging, the latter perhaps even a bit of an obsession. I thought that at least for the time being, I would ensure that the these materials remain accessible, for those who are interested and for those who may be able to make use of some of the techniques or even the actual podcasts and "handouts".
I would also like to draw attention, a bit immodestly perhaps, to the
Video of the Farewell Lecture from 22 October 2021
with many thanks to all involved, Dave, Ann-Christin, Sue, Nicole, Marion, Luca and all the many kind folks who were there.
