Director's Message

Edward C. Blackburn B.A. M.A. B.Ed.

Please allow me to introduce myself: my name is Edward Blackburn, and I am the founding director of the Business English School of Toronto. For the past fifteen years I have been building the foundation which has resulted in the BEST teaching method and school philosophy.

Director: Edward C. Blackburn

Presently, I hold three university degrees- all from the University of Toronto. Following my undergraduate and graduate studies in Social Sciences (B.A. '93, M.A.'94), I spent several years working in a downtown Toronto business law office, an experience which continues to inform aspects of my program to this day. Following upon this direct experience of the business world and culture, I next attended the University of Toronto's elite Ontario Institute for Studies In Education, receiving my Bachelor of Education degree (formal teaching license) in Social Sciences and E.S.L. in the spring of 1998.

From there I spent several months evaluating future E.S.L. teachers as an instructor and T.E.S.L. evaluator at a Toronto language school, before joining the Toronto District School Board in autumn 1998 as a high school teacher of E.S.L./Social Science (Business, Economics etc.).

Through this long and focused process, I have succeeded in combining the most significant necessary linguistic elements of office life with the practical background in E.S.L. education theory and methodology so necessary to creating successful speakers of International Business English.

I very much look forward to sharing my philosophy, skills and knowledge with you in the near future, as you strive to become a better, more versatile, and ultimately of course, more "employable" speaker of Business English.

Sincerely,

Edward C. Blackburn, B.A. M.A. B.Ed.
