E.W. Spider

There's a new blog in town, and it's about time.  My colleague, Tanja, has started blogging about "bite-sized vegetarian-based crafts and recipes for young learners" specifically, and about the world around her in general at her blog E.W. Spider.  She's a really great writer, someone who I think you'll enjoy adding to your daily reading.

Tanja is the Academic Coordinator here at Knock Knock English in Tokyo.  We entered the MA program in ESL (now Second Language Studies) at the University of Hawaii together back in 1996.  Tanja buckled down and finished her studies in a couple of years, while I ended up doing everything but writing my thesis (DOH!!!!).  Several years later I was back in Japan helping to start up Knock Knock Engilsh, and after our first year we needed to add another person to the team.  Tanja was the first person I thought of, but she was working in publishing in The Netherlands at the time.  I begged her to come to Tokyo and, thankfully, she happened to be thinking about a change of scenery and she came on over 4 years ago.

She's a great teacher, a wonderful cook, and  a truly engaging and knowledgeable writer, so have a peek at her blog.  I'm sure you'll enjoy getting to know her.
