“Developing spoken language in students has been a core element of my teaching over a thirty-year career in the classroom. The integration of language and thinking skills has been the focus of my research. I firmly believe that students learn best when speaking. I have written in the areas of listening, classroom management, teaching English and am a published author in the area of self-esteem.”- Peter Alford.
