Profile

Liz Benali, Lecturer in English Language Teaching (ELT)

I hold the RSA Diploma in Teaching English as a Foreign Language and have over 30 years’ experience of teaching.

I have a strong business background, having run a language centre in a large government organisation in France for 5 years and having taught both English and French in blue-chip companies in the UK, and am therefore particularly qualified to teach business English and business culture.

I also teach the main suite of Cambridge examinations, specialising in Advanced and Proficiency, with a strong focus on British culture and familiar versus formal language.

I use a great deal of authentic material in my classes, including television programmes in order to familiarise learners with the British way of life and way of thinking.

Additionally, as a French and German graduate, I understand the process of learning a foreign language and am sympathetic to the challenges faced by learners of English.
