Biography/History:

Ernesto Macaro is Emeritus Professor of Applied Linguistics at the University of Oxford. Before becoming a teacher trainer and researcher, he was a language teacher for 16 years. His current research focuses on second language learning strategies and on the interaction in second language classrooms or in classrooms where English is the Medium of Instruction. Robert Woore is an Associate Professor in Applied Linguistics in the Department of Education at the University of Oxford. He teaches and supervises on Master's courses (including the MSc in Applied Linguistics and Second Language Acquisition), PGCE (initial teacher education) and doctoral programmes. Formerly a secondary school teacher of French and German, his research interests include the learning and teaching of second languages in instructed classroom settings, with a particular emphasis on phonology and reading. He is interested in the interface between research and classroom practice, and has undertaken various research and professional development projects in this area.
