Paul Dummett
Paul’s career in ELT began in Oxford in 1987, first as a teacher, the DoS, then Vice Principal of Godmer House School of English. In 1996 he set up his own school which he ran for 10 years, giving it up in 2006 to concentrate on writing full-time. Paul’s interests have always been centred around needs-based learning: from task-based learning for general English students through business English teaching to specialised ESP courses.
As a teacher and a writer, Paul’s aim is to develop materials that are stimulating and thought-provoking – that offer more than just language learning.
