I am a retired lecturer in English and used to teach at a Polytechnic for would-be publishers and booksellers (in Amsterdam, the Netherlands). I hold an MA (English Language and Literature) from Utrecht University. Latterly my interests have shifted from English towards Dutch and general linguistics, with a slight bias towards historical linguistics. I am fairly conversant with Indonesian (which I speak at home), can understand French and German and have a smattering of Classical Latin and Greek as well as Javanese.
Apart from having taught English for Special Purposes, I am experienced in adult education, in communication skills and in (publishers') list building.
For a number of years I served as a member (and chairman) of joint consultative committees, and sat on my Polytechnic's Students Appeals Committee.
