I teach English as a foreign language. These days it is mostly technical English. I work in educational projects helping other teachers incorporate digital tools in their everyday work. I have also trained to teach language in Second Life. I am co-host of the podcast Absolutely Intercultural. My projects also often include intercultural competence training.
