      Featured blog of the month for July

      Our latest featured blog of the month is Alex Walsh’s Alien Teachers. Alex is an English teacher in Seoul, South Korea, and set up his website in order to, amongst other things, share his research, lesson plans, and thoughts on teaching EFL. He believes that as teachers we shouldn’t ever stop learning or developing. In “Payback Time: Lessons From The Harshest Teacher Trainers (My Students!)” Alex reports back his findings after taking the brave step of inviting his students and co-teachers to rate his performance in the classroom.

      Featured blog of the month for April

      Our latest featured blog is Fiona Mauchline's - 'macappella'. Fiona is based in Spain, and in April wrote a great post on how to get teens really talking by personalising, rather than personalisation - to find out the difference, read the blog entry! Fiona gives some great insights into how teenagers think and some wonderful but simple ideas to make speaking activities work better for this age group.
