Today I want to share some examples of the environments and systems you may enjoy with your students. You may take your students to the adventure in the Wild West followed by a crime story a'la film noir in an urban fantasy setting.

In my previous articles I briefly described a phenomenon of Role-Playing Games and shared the reasons for which people play games - and enjoy it. Today, I want to demonstrate similarities between teaching and playing RPGs which will help me prove why RPGs can be the ultimate answer to Game-Based Learning approach.

This article is supposed to explain the phenomenon of RPG in general, so that in my future posts I am able to show you my idea of blending games into traditional lessons, creating an approach to TEFL where storytelling and adventure compensate for tedious grammar activities.

With the annual influx of Halloween-themed posts by my fellow bloggers I was like "meh, I don't even like Halloween, I guess I only wrote about it once" - so I looked through my own posts and realised my memory is somewhat problematic (it probably goes with my age, ah well...). Having brushed the dust off my old ideas I found six activities more or less connected to this pleasantly grim festivity you may enjoy with your students.

I know that your favourite season is probably summer - especially with the holidays, right?

Luckily for us all, I have some ideas to share - and I tested all of them and must say they're guaranteed to bring some colours to your greyish classroom!

I think everyone, teachers and students alike, feels more or less murderous in September, especially on Mondays. So what can we do? Absolutely: bring proper crime to the classroom, have fun and relieve the negative feelings! I want to share some of the mystery-solving activities I've been working with for a surprisingly long time, and they're still loved by my students.

Today I want to focus on the idea of a game - it can be easily observed that games are more and more popular in TEFL, and in teaching in general, they are enjoyed by students and teachers alike and I wonder: have you ever thought what is the reason of the enjoyment?

We're getting more and more games in our school, but still there are some beyond our reach - too complex to explain in class, not communicative enough, or simply - impossible to buy (out of stock, waiting for second print, huh). And since we all know that desperate times call for desperate measures, we basically change the official ideas into DIY games.

I want to share with you an idea of a free platform where you could practise skills required from a professional online teacher.

Some time ago I decided to join Twinkl group for bloggers who test this platform and share their ideas. In case you don't know what Twinkl is - it's a mine full of jewels like lesson plans, resources, interactive activities, presentations, posters and loads of ideas for teachers, parents and caretakers. Oh, and homeschoolers.
