Dr. Jonathan Newton, Senior Lecturer and Director of the B.Ed.(TESOL) Programme at Victoria University of Wellington, is coming to Manila to deliver his keynote address at the Global Educators’ Conference on October 20, 2016. He has worked in language teaching and teacher education for 30 years in New Zealand, Malaysia and China. His role has a strong international flavour, notably through his extensive work with language teachers and educational institutions from across the Asian region. Reflecting this international dimension, his research and scholarship encompass intercultural language teaching and learning (ICLT) and communication training for the multicultural workplace. He is in demand as a conference speaker and has published around 50 book chapters and articles in leading applied linguistics journals. He has also co-authored two books, one with Paul Nation, Teaching ESL/EFL Listening and Speaking (2009), and a second with Nicky Riddiford, Workplace Talk in Action: An ESOL Resource (2010). He is currently working on a co-authored book, Teaching English Language Learners in Colleges and Universities: Reading, Writing, Speaking, Listening, due for publication in 2017.
