“In my plenary address at the recent IATEFL conference in Birmingham, UK, I was pleased to be able to show a clip of Nick teaching one of the classes in Gaza to the more than 1000 participants who were present – and to the many more who were watching a live-stream broadcast of my talk. I was using this clip as an example of how a new methodology might be synthesised out of a combination of traditional classroom ingredients, very simple technology, a strong desire to cross physical, cultural, and linguistic boundaries, and a commitment to enlist education to resist oppression and intolerance. The response was amazing!”
