Listening now BX. Well done with the interview.

Thanks. He was very gracious to allow me to squeeze out 10 minutes with him during lunch. He has a very busy schedule. In that time, I tried to ask some of the questions you guys put up.

He sounded very experienced and was really happy to listen to this interview. It was short but there was a lot covered in the podcast. An interesting idea was raised about the use of L1 in the classroom. The accent was a difficult to place (Australian, British, NZ), odd but I guess this is because he has spent much of his time abroad teaching English.

It would be great to listen to him again sometime in the future about Asian countries ability of using English internationally.

I think Mr. Ellis deals mostly in theory these days, although he does teach/speak at various venues often. He was at Sookmyung today, and will be back in my class tomorrow.
