I honestly believe it was mindfulness that saved my sanity last year – so today I want to share a review of the book that you can use to make your 2021 more mindful.

Why study planning? To plan your studies!

I am a maniac of planners and planning. I have planners that help me organise other planners, and I keep planning even my time off, which really makes sense in my scheme of things! So when I see a study planner, I simply have to check it.

Grammar up your classes! (book review)

The way I can explain my attitude to English grammar is love-hate relationship. One of the books that helped me enormously was Uncovering Grammar by the amazing Scott Thornbury. I read it years ago, and I’ve just finished rereading it to see how many things I implemented and how much useful it could be to an average EFL teacher.

You may already know I'm a fan of CPD. The more I teach, the more I realise I have to learn. The more experienced trainer I am, the more people I meet who show me how to improve and develop. When I saw Jack C. Richards' 50 Tips for Teacher Development, I loved it from the very first moment.

It took me half a year to finish one book - seriously, and it's not because I'm a slow reader, quite contrary. It's a book addressing one of my greatest problems (apart from procrastination and struggling with taking over the world) which is time management, something a work-from-home person may have issues with - I sure did.

I'm not a fan of Halloween - I believe there's no point in scaring evil spirits away if they manage to roam free on earth just once a year. Yet the long and mysterious October evenings prompt us to spin dark tales accompanied by the sound of rain and wind against windows. These are probably the reasons I was told I'll like Angielski: Historie by Preston Publishing.

I'm not overly fond of grammar books, but, naturally the comments made me take a look at this one. And I loved it immediately, the way you love something mischievous, daring and enjoyable at the same time.
