Life is difficult sometimes.


Many people do not understand how hard a teacher's life can be. Your students think you are their enemy, and they do not understand that you are there to help them, parents think that you are not right, that whatever you do is wrong, even you may think that you are not in the right place, you would sometimes prefer to be at home watching the snow falling outside, however you have to go to work. You get there and start the first class where you see that some of your students are interested in what you are talking, though others are trying to study other subject because they have an exam. You get happy because you know that for some students your work is important, and then you realize that your day is worthy. Check the following video about motivation by Heather Tiddens in Youtube.

Our first day together

Everyday, we, teachers of English, try to find different ways of teaching, and sometimes we are lucky and others unlucky. By looking for new teaching approaches, we may find it very stressful if we do it alone, but if we do it in group, it may be easier than we have ever thought.
I would like to be part of that group by using this blog, where I will try to place several activities and ideas that normally work in my classes.
If you want to be part of this group, it will be great to get in contact and share things can help the others in the teaching of this great language, English.
