#24: An interview with Marcos Benevides

There are so many ways in which Tokyo Oberlin University Professor Marcos Benevides, our guest for our 24th episode, is connected with ER that it is hard to chose one to start with. For one thing, for the last six years he has been using extensive reading as part of an English programme for 2,000 students that he coordinates at his university. Also, he is an author and editor of graded readers, and the founder of a very particular collection: Atama ii Books, which you can sample here [ Finally, he has also experienced first-hand the effect of reading on successfully learning and acquiring a new language (he was born in Brazil and moved to Canada with his family when we has eleven years old). Professor Benevides tells us in detail about all these experiences in this interview.
