Last night, 27 Nov 2024, at the 30th Anniversary Gala of the EOI Arrecife, I was honoured to receive an award recognizing my work on the blog—a project that began as a simple desire to share, to connect, and to explore new ways of teaching and learning languages.

This award for innovation in linguistic education through digital tools and platforms is not just about my work; it’s about the countless moments, ideas, and experiences that have fuelled my passion for teaching. Over the years, the blog has been my space to experiment with digital tools, explore creative methodologies, and reflect on how technology can make learning more accessible, engaging, and meaningful.

I want to thank everyone who has been part of this journey—my readers, my colleagues, and my students. Your feedback, ideas, and support have been the heartbeat of the blog. You’ve inspired me to keep pushing boundaries and to continue learning.

Thank you, EOI Arrecife, for this incredible honour.
