Yey! Welcome to the ELFpron party Christina 🙂 So lovely to finally meet you at IATEFL and witness your amazing sketchnotes in action. I keep meaning to comment on your fabulous post http://ilovetefl.wordpress.com/2014/03/02/qualification-required-native-english-speaker/ which I would recommend to anyone out there interested in the issue of native speaker bias in EFL. Hope you’re fully recovered from the excitement of Harrogate now 🙂 Katy
