Welcome to my blog! I'm an ESOL teacher and teacher trainer in the UK, and you'll find some of the websites I know about in this blog, and some suggestions on how to use them. Hope it's helpful.

Happy Anniversary!

I've just realised that it's a year and a day since my first post on here, so it seemed almost obligatory to add another one!

The big thing that has happened this week is that I have launched my on-line course - it's been nearly a year of trialing different options, but I've finally come up with what I think is a good option for easy access and supported learning.  During the pilots, the most surprising thing that emerged was that the convenience of being able to access things in your own time seems to win hands down over the immediacy of a real-time class (on-line).  With this in mind, I've revamped it all and although you can still hear my dulcit tones talking you through the information, but in a recorded format that you can watch at will.  If you are interested, have a look at www.elt-training.com and follow the links to 'Try before you buy'. 

There are also free teacher development webinars on the site, too, a new one each month. January's is on Continuing Professional Development using ICT - check it out!

Thanks to all of you who have supported me over this first year - it's been a steep learning curve, but soooo interesting!
