What's better to start a lesson than a good warm-up activity? I want to share some ideas on why warm-ups are essential. I also want to share some simple and no-prep warm-ups to practise vocabulary, grammar and communication skills.

As Alan Maley says, I passionately believe creativity to be central to learning, including language learning. When I saw his 50 Creative Activities published by CUP, I knew I had to take a look at the book.

Being creative is the key to opening, unblocking someone else's creativity - but I'm not really sure that being a "creative teacher" is enough, I'd say that being a creative human being is more important here. I believe we, teachers, should not only bring creative classroom activities, we should focus on unblocking this aspect in our students' mindsets.
