From the Editor

Hi, colleagues!

July's here and it's time to leave the winter behind and fly to the North in search of warmth and a good refresher course , but if you can't do it right now, I hope you can enjoy the coming winter holidays.

I've interviewd Professor Larry M. Lynch, an American English Language Specialist, expert author, public speaker and EFL Teacher Trainer at the Santiago de Cali University with 15 years teaching experience in Latin America, the USA and Europe.

He explains his view on the Communicative Approach, the “Kachru’s Circles” and his experience in Colombia among other topics.

Happy Teaching!
Monica, editor
