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.

Stresses of modern day life (let alone the self-isolation period, something children have to maintain often without the understanding of the pandemia) often end up with children's anxiety, aggression outbursts or withdrawal.

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.

When I discovered brothers Kelley with their "Creative Confidence" and I thought I absolutely owe you a review of this book. However, I am only able to share some impressions, as it is quite impossible to write a review of something that made me feel like I can change the world if I only try.

English Idioms? A piece of cake! (book review)

It's quite difficult to make a nice lesson on idioms because you have to find some nice examples, create some fun exercises and set everything in context. But lo and behold! For there is a book with 60 units full of idioms that are ready to go. If you want to make a nice gift for a student (or a teacher) of EFL - here it is.

Phrasal Verb Organiser is a great book written by John Flower who had apparently seen too many students suffering because of this ridiculous phrasal-verbish-conundrum... or maybe he had seen too many teachers struggling? Whatever inspired him to write the book brought us one of the most useful books ever.
