This week Alan caught up with Arthur McKeown for a quick chat.  Arthur, now retired (apparently), created The Belfast Programme with the help of the Belfast Unemployed Resource Centre and HAPANI to help pre-esol level students gain enough English to improve their standing on arrival in Ireland.  Arthur has also just been awarded the ESOL Champion Award, from IATEFL ESOL Special Interest Group.

Full links to all the organisations are available in our show notes.

We're two teachers who have worked across the UK, Ireland, Spain and Italy. We worked together for two years in Cáceres, Spain.  We've plenty to say on the ELT world, so thought we'd make a podcast on it.
