This book is dedicated to Mrs Keturah Samuels, her children past and
present and all my family members who approach life with such faith,
courage and grace.
Author’s Acknowledgements
I would like to thank my colleagues and students who responded to this
project with such enthusiasm. You truly inspired me.
During my career there have been certain TEFL people who have given me
special support. These are the folks at Salisbury School of English, Oxford
School Mantova, Avalon School of English and TEFL Training. Thank you for
giving me one stepping stone after another while allowing me to be myself
inside and outside the classroom.
The input from Wejdan Ismail, Simon Bell and Kathleen Dobie at John Wiley
has been invaluable. I certainly could not have written this book without you.
Last but not least, thanks to Mum, Monique and all my dear brothers and
sisters for constantly egging me on and for putting up with me.
