Testimonials
What educators are saying:
“Barnaby Griffiths’ approach to Language and Communication Coaching aligns closely with the core principles of Dogme ELT: a focus on emergent language, learner-driven content and responsive teaching. His book captures those values with clarity, insight and a strong sense of purpose. It’s a timely and valuable contribution to ongoing conversations about how we can support learners in more meaningful and personalised ways.”
Scott Thornbury
ELT author and teacher trainer
“One way teachers know a book is worth reading is when they find themselves thinking, 'I wish I’d known this when I started out'.”
Duncan Foord
Director, Oxford TEFL and author of The Developing Teacher
