I would say that 90% of the content in this blog comes from the need to offer my students good interesting lessons. I highly value the time and effort it takes for most of them to come to my classes and that’s why I try my best to design lessons packed with engaging content and interactive activities.
The school year has come to an end and with it, what triggers my inspiration to write posts and design activities. Therefore, and as every single year, this blog is going on holiday and though I might continue sharing old posts on Facebook ( “LIKE” my blog on facebook if you haven’t done it yet :), I won’t be writing any new ones until probably the end of September when I’ll need to start preparing my lessons.
This year has been extremely rewarding to me professionally speaking .My blog has been shortlisted four times by the British Council (facebook page), lots of my articles have been published and shared on social media sites and the number of visitors to the blog has dramatically increased. OMG!I have even been interviewed for a local newspaper!.
So, a good year it’s been!
