Can't wait to try getting my ss to mute themselves on Zoom for a good old pron drill - thanks @MarkWordSmith! Just realised there's a whole bunch of things I need to play around with - private chat, ss taking headphones off for info gaps... disappearing txts on GDocs?! #IELT20

Having a great time at #IELT20! The format works surprisingly well. Useful groupwork, I can attend sessions inbetween my online classes and even the "garden" was fun. Only downside was having to run up and down 6 flights of stairs for Amazon delivery in the middle of a talk 😅

Debating doing a debate?

In my previous school, every week there was a “debate class”. I mostly did those, so that’s... 2 x 46 x 4… 368 debates I did, give or take! I picked up a few useful strategies along the way and I...

Binky the Polar Bear

I love this lesson because it takes a pretty standard topic - animals and zoos - and deals with it in a way you wouldn’t find in a coursebook. If using a coursebook, I find this is a good supplemen...

#IATEFL19 hope you can make my talk on Wed 3rd, 1645 in Rm 20. I'll also be asking: - why are 'global issues' only a 'special interest' for IATEFL? - why doesn't IATEFL support teachers who are struggling, sacked or striking? - what would make 'social justice' in ELT universal?

Replying to @tom_flaherty
@tom_flaherty: Move away from evidence-based education to evidence-informed classrooms. We should take what we hear/read with a pinch of salt and analyse it in the context of our own classrooms. #JJMMEIM
