W: Which level do you prefer teaching? Why?
M: I love working with beginners because it is amazing that beginners can spend an hour with a native speaker and go out of the classroom feeling that they have understood what was being said. They can feel so good. And I love working with advanced students and wonder why I am being paid because it is such a privilege to be paid for spending time with people.
W: Are you optimistic or pessimistic about ELT in the future?
M: I don’t really understand the question. There is a massive demand by people all over the world to learn the world’s language which happens to be English, for the time being. That drive to learn is the main thing and is much more important than all the fancy materials and methods we might dream up.
W: Any other thoughts to pass on about language teaching?
M: Language teaching changes as societies change. I don’t believe that research findings seriously influence how aims and methodologies change. The reason for students wanting to learn English or not wanting to learn it is largely a reflection of the society, or sub-cultural group, they are living in. This background and its values and perceptions also help to determine the methodologies which are accepted by the learners.
W: Can you be more specific?
M: In the 1960s when I began, Western societies believed that logic could provide answers to everything from military efforts, exploration in space, housing and language teaching. So we had the audio lingual and then the audio visual methodologies which were going to make language learning possible for everybody. In the 1970s there was a rejection of these global and logical answers and there was more concern for the individual: more humanistic approaches. That was in the West. In other parts of the world societies did not move in the same way and the aims and methodologies relevant to the West were and are not necessarily relevant in other societies.
W: It’s such a pleasure talking to you.
M: My pleasure.
