Overview

Jon Marks’s popular strip cartoon, Langwich Scool, made its first appearance back in October 1999 in Issue 13 of English Teaching professional. Jon has entertained us since then with his wry commentary on the state of English language teaching. All good things come to an end, but we want to mark the end of an era and the start of something new (namely the merger of English Teaching professional with Modern English Teacher). Before the Director of Studies (DoS) of Langwich Scool switches off the lights and locks the front door for the final time, we’ve put all the fantastic cartoons together in one place. You can see some of them in colour for the first time, plus a few new ones in to bring us up to date with how Langwich Scool coped in the times of Covid. Whether you fondly remember Langwich School from ETp or it is totally new to you, if you are looking for a wry, humorous commentary on the state of English language teaching, the challenges teachers face and typical learning environments then this is the book for you. A simple pick up and flick through cartoon book, it is more than likely going to make you laugh – the perfect antidote to our current climate.

Author Information

Jon Marks began his teaching career in 1988 in a private language school in a little-known town in northern Spain. Since then, his choice of career has taken him to many fascinating places and allowed to meet many equally fascinating people. Having had an interest in creating his own teaching materials from the start, in the late 1990s he began writing (and occasionally illustrating) for ELT publishers. That eventually led to becoming a full-time materials writer and authoring and co-authoring a wide variety of publications. He is currently a member of the writing team for Green Line, a major course for state secondary education in Germany. Other recent work includes a project to develop English language teaching in state education in Bangladesh and a project for improving girls’ access to education in Zimbabwe.
