About the Teacher – Mr. Sean Dowling
I was born in the United Kingdom and brought up in Ireland. I graduated with a B.Sc.
in Computer Science from University College Dublin in 1989 and with an M.A. in
Teaching English as a Second Language from the Institute of Education, University of
London. I have over 20 years’ experience as a teacher, having worked in Japan, Saudi
Arabia, the United Arab Emirates and now Thailand. I have also published many
articles in regard to English language learning and using technology in the classroom.
I’m currently working as an English language teacher at Garden International School
in Ban Chang. In my free time, I like to play and watch sports. I am married to Siranee
and have two daughters, Amy (14) and Ellen (13).

Nikai Award for Innovation in Teaching (2009)

allowing more dynamic blended -learning experiences to be created.
