Autorenporträt

Hello. I'm Lynda Hübner - but don't be taken in by the umlaut - I married it! I am English, though I've lived in Munich for ... goodness me! - nearly forty years! And I've spent a lot of that time teaching English and writing EFL books for the Langenscheidt Network series. As Network started to take up more and more of my time, I decided to work for Langenscheidt full time and become an editor - so now it's my privilege to work with the next generation of Network authors.

As a result, I have very little spare time - but I have managed to have a couple of kids and a couple of cats!

Vanessa Clark After a degree in modern languages and my postgraduate studies in education in the UK, I ran away to Munich 'for one year' and stayed for eight years as an English teacher and later as a Director of Studies. My classroom experience with adult learners in Germany and my teacher training role there is what I've found most useful in writing Compass, as a good coursebook must be designed with both learners and teachers in mind. I now teach EFL back home in the UK and keep my connection with Germany through my work for Langenscheidt ELT.

James Schofield I have worked in different countries around the world and for different organisations including the British Council. I now teach at Siemens in Munich and if I'm not there and I'm not writing for Langenscheidt, then I'm busy with my seven children, two dogs, one cat and fourteen mice. In fact, the dogs are saying I have to take them for a walk right NOW, so if you'll excuse me ...

Viv Midlane I've been an English Language Teacher since 1982, and taught in Greece, Belgium, Italy and the UK. I've also worked in a 'wide variety' of other fields including working to develop technology to help disabled people in their day to day lives. This included teaching DJing skills to profoundly deaf teenagers. I returned to University in my 40s to take a Masters degree in English Language Teaching and Educational Technology, and am 'thinking about' taking a PhD one day. Now I work as a writer, teacher and examiner. In my spare time I go sailing and hill walking and play harmonica and guitar in blues and rock bands around Manchester.
