Dylan Gates

Hi, I'm a freelance Business English language teacher, teacher educator, course creator, and ELT consultantI've been working in English language teaching for nearly 30 years in positions such as an Academic Director, a lead teacher trainer, an examiner, an EAP lecturer, and a materials writer.Along the way, I've collected a few qualifications, like a DELTA and an MA in Applied Linguistics and ELT.

My Language Teaching Philosophy

I'm not a fan of traditional methods, especially when working with adults. I believe learners are the best resource for language teachers.That's why I promote deep-end approaches like Dogme (unplugged), task-based language teaching, and the power of dialogic learning.
