When a student of mine showed me this video, it actually inspired me to bring my students at least one Christmas-related activity - and with Christmas approaching, I thought I may share it on my blog.

Let's write a poem!

Yesterday, when I was on my way to work, I was thinking about the lesson - a group of pre-int teenagers and grammar + vocabulary revision. Not necessarily exciting thing, admit it. Maybe I'll give them a funny warm up at least, I thought - and I decided to make them write a poem, which we had never done before.

10 short warm-ups to revise vocabulary

What needs constant revision, is vocabulary, especially on the more advanced levels - the students learn the words but don't use them regularly. One way to make them revise vocabulary is to do short warm-ups in the classroom. I've got my favourite ten activities that I use regularly

Homework? Smile in the morning!

Have you heard that even if you fake a smile, you genuinely start feeling happier? At least that's what American scientists say, but is it true? Me and my B2 group have decided to give it a try, hence the homework, perfect for grey November:

November - the grim month

Don't you find November the worst month in a school year? To cheer you up I've collected some grammar-motivational pics and I thought that, if you're overwhelmed by November, you may use them in your classroom. Have fun!

Teacher, let's watch a film...

I've come up with a couple of nice classroom activities regarding mostly short videos, but also some ideas about watching films.

I'm a teacher who does that only during the tests and I rather encourage my students to use their phones in the classroom on a regular basis. And teach them how to use their phones to help them learn.

Don't panic and use warm-ups :)

What can we do with teenagers? Those sleepy, yawning, not really interested in learning teenagers? What can you do to wake them up, or make them switch off their mobile phones? Give them a nice warm-up, sure!

Teaching young adults I came to realize that most of them study English not because they want to, but because their parents make them. I will never forget one of my students, who bitterly commented my idea of brightening the classes with a grammar game. 'Grammar games are like playing with the devil' - said Ania and little did she know how inspiring her words were.

This is my absolutely favourite project ever. I love it, it has always worked for me and my students and I had a lot of fun with it!
