“If we don’t preserve the best of the analogue past….”

After performing a play in Czech schools, “I love my phone”, which David Fisher of the Bear Educational Theatre and I created, I see the value of involving students in projects where they research what life used to be like before the mobile phones and how that can give them insights in how to be both better language learners today and how to manage their online lives.
We will look at practical lesson ideas where students explore the world of their grandparents and compare how they live today.

Mark has lived and worked as a teacher trainer in Central Europe for the whole of his professional life with the British Council in Czechoslovakia, the Czech Republic and then Hungary, at ELTE University in Budapest and as training director at “SOL”. He now teaches weeks in schools with “English in Action” as is currently involved in acting in a play he co-created with David Fisher, “I love my phone” which they perform in schools in Central Europe. After living in Olomouc in 1989 he loves being in Moravia.
