Jon was in Tripoli for a couple of years before me.
I recall with appreciation a series of 1:1 tutorials just after I arrived in Tripoli on 23 July 1979 in which he introduced to the broad principles and the practicalities of teaching adult Absolute Beginners. These resonate decades later in the BELFAST Programme.
His reflections, written decades later, are available here.
