Herbert puchta biography

Language learning isn’t just about language – it’s about how the brain stores information, content that appeals to students and, ultimately, helping learners to feel that they CAN SUCCEED!

I hold a PhD in English &#; with a focus on ELT pedagogy.

I have been Professor of English at the Teacher Training University in Graz, and President of IATEFL.

As a writer and international teacher trainer, I’ve given talks, seminars and workshops to teachers in over 50 countries.

Each classroom I visit makes me see how brilliantly creative teachers can be and how hard they work. It also teaches me a little more about students’ hearts and minds.

These insights are powerful tools, and – in combination with the latest research from cognitive psychology, pedagogy, brain research and linguistics – can produce compelling results when applied in the language classroom.
