My name is Michelle and I'm a high school teacher from Brazil. I have decided to become an English teacher because I love this marvelous language and also because I like dealing with people, especially teenagers. I have been teaching English for eight years and during this period I have learned a lot about the language and also about teaching. I started talking about why I have decided to become an English teacher because being a teacher has changed my life. I used to be a very shy person who was petrified about talking in front of an audience. But when I was an English student, attending classes, an intense desire of teaching English started growing inside me and I couldn’t resist it. Now it is my role to keep studying and improving my teaching abilities.

Hi everyone and thanks for the warm welcome!

I've been teaching English as a foreign language for 16 years now. I've been teaching English and Serbian online for the past 4 years. I'm passionate about creating digital teaching materials and language learning sites, as well as figuring out how to make the most of the various language learning sites and tools to engage my students so that they don't notice they are  "learning" :)

Just updating this "Introduce Yourself" discussion.  

We now have a nice Welcome page so members can get the full idea of what's on offer.

Also, a lot of members are now discussing on our LinkedIn - ELT Professionals Around The World group. I'll be thinking of ways to integrate this into our community here. 

Happy teaching and learning.

Ellen,

I missed your reply and just noticed it in one of my not visited much gmail accounts. 

You know me, if at once I don't succeed, I try try try try try try again.  It's about not coveting (this place) and going where the action is. What's important is the connecting and not the control. But good that the LinkedIn is growing, we get about 200+ members a week, so it'll soon surpass here - however, this place will be where teachers can escape the blabla and get the goods. Just the way its worked out - different from out haydays of 2009 - 2010... 

I'll email you soon about the work I'm doing with EnglishCentral.  Also want to hear your news. I'm heading for 2 weeks alone to the Bahamas - to work on that book (you know the one!).  I'm realizing how important this time for self is... I'll give you a report on that sojourne soon. 

David
