About Peter A. Aborisade

 

Peter teaches EAP at the Federal University of Technology, Akure in Nigeria. He holds a PhD in Literature and has taught EAP for over twenty-four years in the same institution. I have been retraining in EAP/ESP methods for years, beginning from the British Council Teaching ESP summer workshop in the College of St Mark and St John, Plymouth in 1989. I recently (2007-2008) completed a six-month Commowealth fellowship at the Sussex Language Institute, University of Sussex in Brighton. I'm interested in researching integration of learning technologies into the language teaching curriculum, especially in large class situations. This is my first appearance at IATEFL and I hope to make many international friends.
