Aron Thode

I have taught English in South Korea and Japan for 22 years. My core work is helping learners build speaking fluency and stronger academic communication. On Print Discuss, I write discussion materials that are practical in real classrooms and easy for teachers to use with minimal prep.

Editorial process at Print Discuss

• I personally create and write all question sets on Print Discuss.
• I start by focusing on interesting, discussable content that works in real classrooms.
• After drafting, I review each set for clarity, flow, and classroom usability.
• I then add CEFR guidance and teacher-facing notes after the content draft is complete.
• I periodically revise published sets based on teaching experience and feedback.
