There are so many things you can do in July - swim, hike, eat fresh fruit, enjoy summer break (if you have one)… But if you feel like developing your skills and abilities, I want to share some cool online courses that are really enjoyable and you can learn something new between all those exciting summer activities.

Food in the Classroom: Delicious Challenge

Bringing real food to the classroom may turn out to be a challenge, especially when you think of all the things that could possibly go wrong - allergies, accidents, poisonings... Ugh! However, I want to share the ideas that worked well for me and my students - we all had a lot of fun and nobody was hurt.

Summer Songs and Stories: lesson idea

Songs seem to be a popular option for summer classes, and fill-in-the-blanks activities are probably the most popular forms of exercises to include songs in an EFL lesson. However, you can make your students use songs to create new stories, and that's how they work not only on their receptive, but also productive language. And they still have a lot of fun!

I believe you are already thinking about your summer break, aren't you? And yet here I am with a batch of online courses!

Do we really need end of the course activities? Well - yes. If we want our students to reflect on what they've learnt and focus on their short- and long-term goals, those activities can be really useful. I want to share some simple activities that require no preparation and bring a lot of fun in the classroom.

It's not easy to make your students actually do the homework. I believe that effective homework should be: a) short b) relevant c) engaging d) fun And I have some simple homework ideas your students will enjoy!

I believe we all need a bit of pure fun – especially now. And one of the first people that comes to my mind when I think of joy is Simone Giertz, a woman who makes robots that are useless – and while it may sound somewhat absurd, I think you will enjoy my simple yet highly educational lesson plan.

This March was a really draining month, so the courses I've found focus on what I, and a lot of the people I know, need most: mental help. We're facing a humanitarian crisis, and all of us, especially those educators who work with kids and teens might need all the help possible. So here are some short courses that might actually help you - and your students.

As you know, I’m a fan of mindfulness, but I know some of the exercises take time. That’s why I thought about various breathing activities – they’re short, easy to implement in a daily schedule (or in a classroom), and they really work!

We all know how important lesson goals are, but can we talk about them with our students? And if yes - how can we do it, if we usually run out of time anyway and one more lesson stage seems just too much?
