Darren Elliot keeps a great blog called The Lives of Teachers.  He interviewed a number of people at a recent conference of JALT (The Japan Association for Language Teaching.)  One of those interviewed was Miles Craven, a British ELT author based in Japan.  Miles talks about the process of researching materials, the challenges of writing, and his views on the future of ELT publishing.  You can watch the video on Vimeo or see it and an audio-only podcast of the interview on Darren’s site.
