As founder of a constantly evolving entity called Work/Life English (previously Authors & Editors), I'm known as the "Creative Force." I serve as a complement to the "Driving Force," COO Arthur Rubin, who is deeply committed to helping others become more independent and successful. Together, we love aiding and abetting new and experienced native English and English as a Second Language (ESL) educators/learners in their goals, careers, and lives by offering tools that improve English comprehension and communication. The kinds of products available from Work/Life English are effective, efficient student texts + ancillaries, how-to teaching resources, reproductibles (puzzles and other classroom-ready pages); card decks and game boards, activity/idea guides, and others. Covered topics include "Tested & Timeless Teaching Tools That Work," "English Language Skills (Listening, Speaking, Reading, Writing)," "Grammar Patterns & Rules," "Phrase & Sentence Structure," "Pronunciation & Accent Acquisition," "Phonics & Spelling," "Vocabulary in Context," and so much more. We offer downloadable and print publications at surprisingly low prices. Try-before-you-buy samples, book excerpts, professional workshop handouts, and supplementary class lessons are yours for the asking. Work/Life English mentoring, materials, techniques, and ideas have been successfully implemented in ESL, EFL, ELL, ELD, Special Needs, At-Risk, Literacy, and Adult Education programs, by people at public and private organizations, elementary and secondary schools, community colleges, and universities.
