Joseph Malloy

After 20 years of working in Turkey as an English department head at Uskudar American Academy; lead academic administrator at TED Istanbul and Işıkkent School, Izmir; and university graduate faculty member at Bilkent University, Joe is enjoying a semi-retirement, going between his home in Beyoğlu and his yazlik in Burgazada. Through years of teaching and leading English programs and development, his favorite activity has always been developing creative, engaging, student centered learning environments for students.  Added to this, Joe has traveled throughout Turkiye offering seminars and workshops to English teachers, providing them with resources, ideas and inspiration to provide a creative learning situation for students. He firmly believes that learning can and should be enjoyable, active and imaginative as this best prepares students for actually living the English language. As Winnie the Pooh said, “You are braver than you believe, stronger than you seem, and smarter than you think”.
