/
In my Role-Playing Teaching section I have already written about RPGs and their positive influence on children and adults - it's high time to write about teenagers. This article may come as the last in the series, but for me they are a group that may benefit most from using RPGs in their educational process, or simply benefit from playing RPGs. Believe me - I was such a teen.

Roll your summertime with kids! (Role-Playing Teaching: Part 16)

7 Free Online Courses in June
If you ever feel like there's something you should do apart from relaxing, maybe a short online course or two... Well, here I am, ever-watchful! I've found seven nice and free courses that may be quite interesting for teachers... even those ready for their summer break!

What do games offer in EFL classes? (guest podcast in PL)

Public speaking for teachers? Why not? (book review)
The main reason I bought Public Speaking for Success was the fact that I'm doing more and more workshops, and I realise I have quite a vast area to improve.

I found some great free online courses you may enjoy this May - which one do you think is the best option for you?

Teacher, do you remember why you love your job?
I believe we all know this feeling of discouragement, with more and more administrative duties, students requiring more individual care and parents who are becoming more and more demanding.
What I want to write about is a short list of things that may help you smile, lift up your chin and remember that we matter, teachers matter, that regardless of what people claim, we do change the world. And we should never, ever, stop believing that.

7 Free Online Courses in April
April is still a pretty moody month, and the best thing one may wish for is weather that is quite stable. Unfortunately, we're bound to experience the mixture of sunny and gloomy days, but it's all good since we know what April showers bring.
Free online courses!

Creative Confidence - not only in your classroom
When I discovered brothers Kelley with their "Creative Confidence" and I thought I absolutely owe you a review of this book. However, I am only able to share some impressions, as it is quite impossible to write a review of something that made me feel like I can change the world if I only try.

Adult students, let's roll! (Role-Playing Teaching: Part 13)
I started playing RPGs when I was 15, so writing a post on why RPGs are awesome for teenagers would be an easy choice, but since games come so natural to younger learners, I want to share some aspects of RPGs that are really beneficial for adult learners of English.
