OK, here we go...

Hey! I'm Cleve, and I'm a business English teacher and consultant currently based in Caracas. Most of the time I'm running a software start-up; we're building a web application that helps English teachers improve the language performance of their adult students. I also teach classes and workshops, and consult for corporate customers on effective language program design and management.

So, why this blog?

Well, first off, I've just begun a short online course on using blogs for language teaching, either with students or as a reflective tool (so far, the course is great - a community of practice of 150+ professionals from over 30 countries). Starting a personal blog is one of the Week 1 assignments. So this is the proximate cause of English360.

But of course I've been meaning to start blogging for a year or two now. I have a lot of ideas about my profession, and I'd like to share them with you. Agree or disagree, both or neither, but share your thoughts in the comments section....
