Introduction to adeneducation

Hello,

This is my initial attempt to start my own blog. Friends, students and visitors are welcomed to give suggestions and ideas to improve this site.

This blog is meant as a platform for academic and educational discussion. NOTHING ELSE should tarnish the main purpose of this blog.

In general, this site may cover discussions pertaining to the teaching and learning of English. Specifically, it will provide input, reading texts and other materials of the subjects I am currently teaching.

From time to time, I may post my personal reflections and opinions from the point of view as an educator. All are welcomed to respond to these views.

Best wishes and happy blogging!
