In 2006, when I arrived in France, it was a different geo-political world - Blair was British Prime Minister and Chirac was President, not that it made much difference to me - I was too busy trying to make a living to care very much about the global picture. After hanging on by my fingertips, it was with relief that I landed myself a part-time, nine month teaching job assisting in three primary schools and thus my career began. Since then I've never looked back and if it has been at times an over-steep learning-curve then maybe the reason is to enable me to write this book with conviction.…mehr

Produktbeschreibung
In 2006, when I arrived in France, it was a different geo-political world - Blair was British Prime Minister and Chirac was President, not that it made much difference to me - I was too busy trying to make a living to care very much about the global picture. After hanging on by my fingertips, it was with relief that I landed myself a part-time, nine month teaching job assisting in three primary schools and thus my career began. Since then I've never looked back and if it has been at times an over-steep learning-curve then maybe the reason is to enable me to write this book with conviction. Part-memoir, part-teaching aid, this is a document of my experiences teaching Britain's biggest export - its language - to its French neighbours 2006-2016. The title is a tribute to teacher & author Raymond Murphy whose world-famous teaching books, known for their versatility, practicality and all-round appeal, have kept me in work ever since.
Autorenporträt
Darlington for Culture Review This is the story of an ordinary boy from an ordinary working-class family in an ordinary northern town. If that sounds ordinary, it's not!Jethro Anson Nowsty was born and brought up in Darlington and we follow his life from his very earliest memories up to his approaching adulthood. This mixed-up kid was born in the early 1960s and the author describes everyday life as it was then - warts 'n' all. The music, food, transport, housing and entertainment of the 1960s and 1970s are all brought into clear focus in a series of short stories. Instead of a strictly chronological order, the author goes back and forth through the years writing in a way that draws the reader back in time to when a computer filled a whole room and dialling a phone number took longer than the call itself. All of this is interwoven with national and international news and the background to all of these stories is Darlington. All the landmark buildings, roads and parks, shops and schools are mentioned and described. It's a history of a special time in a special town, told with humour and affection through the eyes of a special 'mixed-up kid'.'
