    Cet auteur a trouvé une vocation dans l'éducation linguistique après que ses ambitions initiales d'enseignement se soient révélées irréalisables. En découvrant le domaine de l'enseignement de l'anglais langue étrangère aux adultes, il l'a embrassé comme une vocation de toute une vie. Un premier et transformateur cours de formation d'enseignants est devenu un investissement crucial, le mettant sur la voie d'un développement et d'une contribution continus. Par le biais d'associations avec des organismes éducatifs clés et de projets collaboratifs, y compris des manuels scolaires et des dictionnaires, l'auteur s'est établi une présence significative dans le domaine de l'ELT, particulièrement reconnu pour son travail sur la prononciation et les matériels destinés aux apprenants débutants.

    • A conservative college professor's compelling defense of liberal education highlights the importance of reason in shaping individuals and safeguarding democracy. In a time when many conservatives seem to reject higher education, the author argues that liberal education is essential for fostering reasonable citizens. Drawing on the thoughts of John Locke and other influential figures, the professor makes a case for conservatives to re-engage with universities rather than abandon them. He acknowledges that many professors and administrators align with leftist ideologies but contends that the fears of liberal indoctrination often misrepresent the reality of college experiences. The author explores why proponents of liberal education struggle to articulate a strong defense against conservative critiques, emphasizing that such a defense should focus on cultivating reason and pride in rational discourse. More than a guide to campus debates, the work seeks to reclaim the essence of liberal education—encouraging individuals to think critically and engage in meaningful dialogue, rather than merely using reason as a weapon in political conflicts. Ultimately, it advocates for the value of being liberally educated, where reason transcends partisan agendas.
