#44 James Crocker - Word Hunters

James’s career is a masterclass in adaptability. Having served as a primary teacher, ESL instructor, and Teacher Trainer, he has navigated the unique educational landscapes of China, Brunei, Korea, and beyond. Until a few years ago he was a fixture at Kobe Women’s University in Japan, and more recently he divides his time between Japan and the waterways of Europe.

In this episode we talk through his childhood roots, the ‘wanderlust’ that fueled his teaching adventures, and the lessons he’s learned from educating students across four continents. Listen to the episode HERE.
