Acknowledgements
We would like to thank the people from whom we have learned so much: all our students and colleagues everywhere, but especially those at the English Language Centre at the University of Gdansk who willingly participated in the activities and tried out the ideas and who allowed us to include their materials as sample products; and teacher trainers we have met, both in the United Kingdom and in Poland, and the authors of books from which we have also learned. We owe a lot to the following people whose work has inspired us: Mario Rinvolucri, John Morgan, Chris Sion, Alan Maley, and Alan Duff, among others.
We also thank all of those who are dear to us for their support and encouragement.
Finally we would like to acknowledge how much we have learned from each other. Working together was a pleasure.
Hanna and Colin.
