A gap year in the USA made Ada Peters a determined Anglophile. She embarked on a language and literature course at the University of Ghent and got a Master degree in English and Swedish. The first ten years of her career Ada taught English to the most diverse groups: adults at an elementary and advanced level, engineers, hostesses and facility managers. The last 20 years she has been the English lecturer at the teacher training department of Kaho Sint-Lieven, now Odisee UC, on Campus Waas.
