Rebecca Robb Benne

I've worked in English language teaching with teenagers and adults for over thirty years: as a teacher, materials editor and writer. My qualifications include a Postgraduate Certificate in Education for French, German and English as a foreign language, and a Masters in applied linguistics.

I became a teacher because I believe everybody should be able to fulfil their potential, whatever their background.  As a writer of ELT materials, helping students of all ages to learn about the world and develop as a person is as important to me as helping students to learn to communicate in English. My main writing interests are therefore life skills, motivation and reading skills. I'm particularly interested in designing materials which can engage teenage students and help them to become confident, autonomous language users.
Contemporary literature extracts, which bring an affective dimension to language learning and develop empathy, also play an important role in my writing.

I'm based in Copenhagen, Denmark.
