New Inside Out Advanced Workbook

Written by: Ceri Jones has been working in ELT since 1986. She has worked as a teacher, trainer and manager in Italy, Hungary, Spain and the UK. She has been involved in both initial and INSET training for both the private and public sectors and in on-going teacher development as DOS at a large IH school in Spain. In 1998 she received an MA in TEFL from Reading University and at the same time she started writing teaching materials. She has been involved in several coursebook series (Inside Out, Framework and Straightforward) as well as writing support materials for graded readers and authentic literary texts. At present she's working as a freelance writer and trainer in Cadiz, Andalucia, but as soon as her children are old enough, she plans to get back into the classroom. Jon Hird divides his time between writing ELT materials and teaching in Oxford UK, where he has taught for about twenty years now. During this time Jon has also taught in Paris and FYR Macedonia. He has been involved in several ELT courses, including co-writing two levels of the Move coursebook series, writing and contributing to various components of Inside Out and New Inside out, including the Inside Out Grammar Companions, and writing resource material for the business course In Company. Jon has also written and contributed to a number of ELT grammar books, resource books and Internet-based writing projects. He enjoys the challenge, in both his writing and teaching, of trying to make classroom activities as meaningful, engaging and as enjoyable as possible. He particularly enjoys giving talks and workshops in different countries and meeting the teachers and students who may, or may not, use his books. Series Edited by: Sue Kay studied at Birmingham University, unaware that it would later be the home of the prestigious Bank of English and one of the first places to carry out corpus-based research into the English language. Sue's subject was French, and when she graduated, she didn't go straight into teaching. Sue did a post-graduate course at the Oxford College of F.E. and became a bilingual secretary on the Cote d'Azur in France. Sue married in Vallauris, within sight of Picasso's 'Man and Goat' statue, and her son William was born there too, giving him the double advantage of having a very glamorous place of birth (Cannes) and growing up bilingual. Sue moved to Lyon where she started teaching English after the customary four-week TEFL course at IH in London. She loved Lyon and worked alongside people who went on to set up one of the most impressive and innovative schools she knew - English International. After meeting fellow co-author Vaughan Jones, they began writing the Inside Out series together. Vaughan Jones has been involved in TEFL in one way or another for all of his working life. He stumbled into it early on in Grenoble, France where he had gone straight after university to seek glory on the rugby field. Sadly, in the early eighties, rugby was still very much an amateur sport so Vaughan needed a job to pay for the beer. Through various rugby contacts he got a teaching post at the local Chambre de Commerce and spent two very stimulating years relearning his native tongue through the eyes of his French students. After many different experiences of learning English, teaching English and also being a Sales Rep for Heinemann, which allowed Vaughan to travel far and wide, he decided to move back to England as he had recently just had a new-born child. Settling in a new role, for Heinemann, at the HQ in Oxford Vaughan became frustrated and bored with this role and wanted to try his hand in writing. Since then, he has returned back to teaching and co-authored Inside Out with Sue Kay.
