I want to share my review of one of the best books for teachers - Course Design Strategy: The Art of Making People Learn by Ethan Honary. It includes many interesting facts about the process of learning, and the ways we can adjust our teaching methods to make them more efficient and enjoyable.

Let's Grow This Spring
Spring is officially here, so maybe we should get inspired and grow a bit as well? I want to share with you three books that may be quite useful if you want to become better teachers - and better people.

Edelweiss: Game, Mindfulness and EFL
Can you smell the Spring approaching, can you see its brilliant colours? No? Is your March still grey and rainy? Well, don't be sad, as I've got something that will not only brighten the mood of you and your students but also support mindful practices, help work on using English, and make you play yet another adorable - and relaxing - roleplaying game!

That Fateful Year: game, project, tool
Imagine a tool that will encourage your students to write creatively, regularly and as if they were playing a game. Sounds great? Well I want to share with you a literal game that will support not only your students' writing skills, but also their out-of-the-box thinking, enthusiasm, engagement and the belief that creative writing isn't that bad after all.

Let's Talk Crime (review)
November - a grim month perfect for perilous adventures, and what's more perilous than a crime? Imagine a set of cards that can make your class use English, think, collaborate, discuss, argue while solving crimes and having fun! It's pretty much like Cluedo but requires no preparation, no extra explanation... just a set of cards!

Get Creative Every Day: Review
An organiser, a lesson wizard and a time-saver all in one?
Yes, please!
I'm happy to show you Get Creative Everyday - a planner for EFL teachers (especially the Young Learners ones).

Teacher, dare to lead! (book review)
may be mid-November, but if you're looking for a great Christmas present for a fellow teacher, Dare to Lead: Brave Work. Tough Conversations. Whole Hearts. by Brené Brown could be a great idea. And since it's mid-November you can even read it first! Would it be useful? Read my review and find out!

Let's Talk: What the Heck Happened? (review)
I don't usually buy extra teaching tools, but once in a while my willpower proves to be particularly weak. Of course, it requires something extraordinary, but when I saw conversation cards created by Ewa Torebko, I simply knew I would love them. And, of course, I do - that's why I want to share some ideas on how to use them in your classroom.

Get Creative Everyday: a great planner for YL teachers
With August and its back to school vibes getting stronger and stronger, I thought Get Creative Every Day is a planner worth your attention.
