Hello! I have been an active member of the English Language Teaching community since 1987. I am an English Language educator with expertise in Teaching English to Speakers of Other Languages and English for Academic Purposes to children and adults, face to face or online, synchronously and asynchronously, at Foreign Language Schools, Adult Education & Life-long Learning Centres with the use of Educational Technologies especially in Virtual Worlds, privately in Greece and at British Summer Language Schools and University in UK. In addition to teaching and training (f-2-f and online by blending and flipping classes), I have also moderated on a number of TESOL EVO (Electronic Village Online) workshops including ViLLAGE (Virtual Language Learning And Gaming Environment), vLanguages, Immersive Storytelling, and have presented at Conferences around Greece and online (e.g. Virtual Round Table, SLanguages, Virtual Worlds Best Practices in Education). Both as teacher trainer and certified language educator, my main focus is learners' and trainees' educational expectations, background, interests, styles and future needs. Language Education is not only about acquiring formal qualifications. It is a unique immersive opportunity for self expression, exploration, and self development. I strongly believe that language acquisition comes through creativity and innovation.
