I love autumn. The days are getting shorter, the evenings longer and the general feeling is that it's so cosy to stay in with a cup of hot tea (or hot chocolate). The only thing to make it better is to add some more fun with free educational value. Aaaaand here we are with my next article on Role-Playing Games and how it can make your life easier and your classroom funnier.

We all know that teaching kids requires not only knowledge and patience, but also wild amounts of ingenuity and creativity - the younger the learner, the more creative the teacher must be! And since I've professionally come back to dealing with young learners and teens, the book I felt like browsing through really carefully addressed the needs of the youngest learners - especially knowing the author.

Trying to broaden my horizons on the topic, I read a book by Jayne Moon “Children Learning English: A Guidebook for English Language Teachers”. As the author mentions in the introduction, "the book will help you to build on the knowledge and skills you already have, become aware of your beliefs about children and about teaching, re-assess your practice in the classroom, provide fresh ideas and new insights (…) and deepen your commitment to and enthusiasm for teaching children."
