This month I focused on short courses full of teaching tips, and one course you may easily include in the class with young adults: writing applications and being interviewed!

Flashcards in the Classroom: My Top 11 Activities
I love using flashcards in my classroom to engage my students and support active learning, to make them move, to introduce new vocabulary and revise the one already covered... That's why I decided to share my top 11 activities with flashcards.

7 Free Online Courses in April
I really do hope you can feel the spring in the air, as in my place it's snowing! However, in case you also feel like staying in, I have some interesting courses you can enjoy this month. This time I focused on the courses that can help you improve your attitude, so you can become not only better educators, but also happier people. So, let's get started!

Let's Grow This Spring
Spring is officially here, so maybe we should get inspired and grow a bit as well? I want to share with you three books that may be quite useful if you want to become better teachers - and better people.

Chairs in the Classroom: Yoga, Games and More!

Can you smell the Spring approaching, can you see its brilliant colours? No? Is your March still grey and rainy?

As usually, I found seven courses that look pretty promising.

AI in the Classroom? Interview with ChatGPT
By now you must have heard of Chat GPT by OpenAI - an AI language model by some called the saviour of time-consuming writing compositions, by others the harbinger of doom😊 All that seems certain is that it will change the education as we know it.
You have probably read at least some ideas on how Chat GPT can help in EFL, but I decided to talk to ChatGPT directly. So here's the interview!

The Ultimate Set of Inspirations (free material)
Imagine 34 teachers of English sharing their ideas and inspirations, just so that you could try out their signature activities.
Imagine one creative Ania, who "made one set to rule them all, one set to find them, one set to bring them all, and in the union bind them"
Yet, unlike Sauron's gifts, this set is absolutely free!
