Our group on LinkedIN -ELT Professionals was once very busy with hundreds of comments, discussions ongoing each day and week. However, LinkedIN (the bastards) changed the whole nature of groups and this is no longer…

We have a great community! Pioneering, always fresh.  So much to help teachers. See these testimonials from members.   

There is a lot of content available to free (archived) members.…

This morning, I'd like to share a few things highlighting authentic materials and their use in the EFL Classroom.  

1.  Just share some links to my older posts with great suggestions for using authentic materials

2. Discuss the implications surrounding the decisions to "go authentic" or not.  Suggest that there is now a much greater "grey" area between these two types of…

Hi Everyone!

I hope all goes well with your teaching, management, curriculum creating or whatever you are doing in English language teaching.   Below are a few of the new resources on EFL Classroom! 

I do hope you'll also check out our new "store". Lots of free stuff and…

Recently, we've added many, many video based lessons to our community resources. 

Many of them are "silent" containing no words or spoken dialog.  But don't fear, they are excellent to use in the ELT Classroom!

I'd like to share for the start of a new school year or semester - My best "Teaching Advice" blog posts. Meaning, posts giving teachers some advice about classroom or other practices.

This complements my Best Practical Teaching…

Wishing all members and hard working teachers, the best of holidays this year.  See you in 2019!

The following really is "common sense" but it might shock you. So be forewarned. What follows might tug at your very nature and deep ingrained notions of who you are and what you do / teach.



I propose that the best way to get students to learn English is to fire all teachers.



Yeah, you heard me right - fire all English (as a language) teachers. Or, in order to make the transition easier, phase in the layoffs and shift those with…

Typing is a vital skill, especially in the digital age. Fortunately there are some great platforms to use for free where students can practice and learn this important skill.

The Typing Club. Free. Easy to follow lessons. Progress through the lessons and get better and better. It's that…

This is a great activity for Christmas!  Why  not have your students write a letter to Santa! 

Here's a nice template.

Two options.

They can either write a letter to Santa which someone in the…

This is my favorite Christmas lesson. I've taught this lesson it seems, a zillion times. Works with all levels. I call it "Gift Giving".

It is a great way to close out lessons for the holiday break. 

Basically, it is groups of students giving each other Christmas gifts that are cut outs provided by the teacher. Not real gifts but works the same!

As a teacher, you’re not supposed to share your personal life with your students, at least not anything beyond what they already know about life in general and what they consider to be pretty unmeaningful in the grand scheme of life (your marriage, your eating, your drinking coffee). Heck you should hide from them the fact you have bowel movements.

The same precaution should be applied to fellow teachers and…

This is a repost. We just ended an experiment with ads on the community. Now turned off permanently. Didn't work out. Enjoy surfing ad free! 

One of the most under noted things about our community EFL Classroom 2.0 is the fact it has no ads. I love this fact (and perhaps its why I now live in a city without advertisements!).

Ads, you know, those subtle…
