What do we do during summer break? We read books about teaching!
... Yes, we're slighly mad :)

Facebook in the classroom?
Have you ever felt tired with your students checking their mobiles and Facebook updates in the classroom? Maybe you're annoyed with their "I was just checking the word in the dictionary" when you perfectly well know they're simply messaging their Facebook friends? Well, what can I say: if you can't fight'em, join'em!

So - you'd like to teach online?
I love teaching online - I'm lucky to work with a good online school as well (good online school is a school that provides you with training, shares teaching materials with you and has supervisors ready to help), and I've been asked by some teachers how I actually got into online teaching and if it's like teaching via Skype. And since I guess it's slightly more complicated than "tutoring via Skype", I've decided to reflect on my journey so far - I know I have much more to learn, but things I've covered so far make me quite prepared to online teaching.

Online classes - taking TEFL to a new level
I've started teaching online and it's quite challenging (hence no new posts here). But since I'm comfortable with the new environment, I'd love to share my impressions so far - I've been teaching online for almost two months so far and I find the experience really fascinating (especially that I teach regular groups, not the one-to-one conversations).

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.

Digit-all-love
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.
