may be mid-November, but if you're looking for a great Christmas present for a fellow teacher, Dare to Lead: Brave Work. Tough Conversations. Whole Hearts. by Brené Brown could be a great idea. And since it's mid-November you can even read it first! Would it be useful? Read my review and find out!

I don't usually buy extra teaching tools, but once in a while my willpower proves to be particularly weak. Of course, it requires something extraordinary, but when I saw conversation cards created by Ewa Torebko, I simply knew I would love them. And, of course, I do - that's why I want to share some ideas on how to use them in your classroom.

I honestly believe it was mindfulness that saved my sanity last year – so today I want to share a review of the book that you can use to make your 2021 more mindful.

3 Simple Activities with Post-It Notes

I think post-it notes make a really nice teaching tool. They’re small, easy to carry around, and you can use them with students on various levels. Here are my favourite simple, creative and of course no-prep ideas.

Why study planning? To plan your studies!

I am a maniac of planners and planning. I have planners that help me organise other planners, and I keep planning even my time off, which really makes sense in my scheme of things! So when I see a study planner, I simply have to check it.

Grammar up your classes! (book review)

The way I can explain my attitude to English grammar is love-hate relationship. One of the books that helped me enormously was Uncovering Grammar by the amazing Scott Thornbury. I read it years ago, and I’ve just finished rereading it to see how many things I implemented and how much useful it could be to an average EFL teacher.

Stresses of modern day life (let alone the self-isolation period, something children have to maintain often without the understanding of the pandemia) often end up with children's anxiety, aggression outbursts or withdrawal.

Stories (not only) for Halloween - book review

I'm not a fan of Halloween - I believe there's no point in scaring evil spirits away if they manage to roam free on earth just once a year. Yet the long and mysterious October evenings prompt us to spin dark tales accompanied by the sound of rain and wind against windows. These are probably the reasons I was told I'll like Angielski: Historie by Preston Publishing.

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. Talk Like TED was really inspiring, so I decided to try the book by Dale Carnegie (famous for How to Win Friends and Influence People). To my surprise, even though the book is targeted at salespeople and presenters, teachers still may find it useful.
