John Clegg

John Clegg is a freelance education consultant based in London. He works with teachers, schools and education authorities who are involved in teaching primary and secondary subjects through the medium of English as a second language. He does this in CLIL (content and language integrated learning) projects in Europe, multicultural schools in the UK and English-medium education in Africa and elsewhere. Most recently he has worked in Italy on CLIL projects and in Ethiopia on teacher-development materials for teachers of subjects in English. In 1996 he edited Mainstreaming ESL, a collection of teacher narratives from different English-medium countries on how they moved the education of minority langage learners of English into mainstream school. He works regularly with Keith Kelly on CLIL courses. For 20 years he worked in the School of English Language Teaching at Thames Valley University London, where he collaborated with Jean Brewster, and now works as an occasional lecturer at the University of Bristol.
