Liz Chiu wrote the report and resources
Liz taught English as a Foreign Language (EFL) and English as a Second Language (ESL) at Hillingdon Adult Education for 10 years. She started teaching EFL in Italy in 1978 and has taught in Milan and London. She also taught at the Hillingdon Chinese Community Organisation, establishing ESL as an important focus of the organisation.
Her desire to combine EFL methods with ESL teaching was the driving force behind the Community ESOL project. Email: lizchiu@blueyonder.com.
