Learning English
Welcome to English with John.
We are an educational consultancy working mainly towards the development of English language provision in Libya. This will be achieved in the following ways;
- By establishing a not-for-profit charitable organization with the aim of providing English language provision in and for Libya.
- By providing class-based and online English lessons for free to those who cannot afford them. We can deliver all aspects of English usage including examinations according to demand.
- We will try to provide a resource base for teachers and students within the project (rooms to teach and learn in, books and computers).
- It is important to us that we support Libyan teachers of English in areas of need. We can help to train native teachers in their own language skills (e.g. pronunciation, syntax, communicative pedagogy, etc.) and help to initiate opportunities for their courses to take place. This can be undertaken using the Internet – webinars, teacher rooms, Skype - and the English with John website will be expanded for this purpose.
English with John currently provides online solutions for personal, business or examination English language needs.
John O’Shea – a personal biographical note;
“My English teaching background has been mainly with The British Council, International House in Poland and Spain, as well as at the Complutense University of Madrid. Also, I have taught in the UK, Poland, Spain, Turkey, Brazil and Libya.
For many years I worked in the UK university sector both as a lecturer and researcher in education and social research methods and became interested in teaching English as a second language later in my career.
My interests are varied and apart from my family lie in IT and music but I am interested in most things in life”
