Today the OUP came to interview me about The Career Break Site and career breaks in general. The interview was for a DVD that accompanies their book series 'Business Result' which is to teach business English to non-native speakers. Of course, as we are big fans of all things TEFL, we could hardly refuse!

Please enjoy these pictures of their visit.

Oxford University Press filming kit

They brought a lot of kit! I was expecting 2 people and a camera, but they brought 2 cameras, 2 lights, various light accessories, sound equipment, cables, and biscuits!

 

Oxford University Press setting up the interview

I was working from home that day, so we set the interview up in my dining room. The man sitting opposite me is James Magrane, Video Manager at the English Language Teaching Division. The man on the right of the picture is Pat Kingston, the cameraman. He is setting up my mike.
