On 27 and 28 November, British Council Armenia will host Alec Williams - an internationally-known storyteller, trainer, presenter and speaker in Armenia to deliver public talks and training sessions for English Language teachers working in primary, secondary, and tertiary sectors in Armenia. Alec Williams is a UK trainer, speaker and storyteller with a background in children’s books and libraries.  He trains and tells stories both in the UK and internationally; in 2015 alone he has worked in Vietnam, Thailand, Bangladesh, Greece, Egypt, and Portugal – along with many engagements in the UK. An enthusiastic advocate of reading for pleasure, Alec believes that language learning is hugely enhanced by stories and poetry.  Alec’s sessions for teachers are rich in humour, examples, extracts, and anecdotes, and as a frequent visitor to schools, he’s full of down-to-earth practical advice that will help every teacher and librarian. Alec Williams is a member of Honorary Member of the UK Youth Libraries Group and was awarded the title of “Reading Champion” for instilling love for reading in children.
