My first IH Journal article – an important milestone for me!
I have an article in the IH World Journal on the topic – you can read it for free right here.
If you’ve arrived at my website via that article, you can download the teaching resource here – and if you have any questions about the tasks included, don’t hesitate to get in touch!
My presentation at IATEFL Hungary 2019 in Budapest
This October I gave a workshop/talk at IATEFL Budapest on the idea of using etymology in the classroom to train our students in the ways of the autodidact. By giving them a toolkit based on this approach, we can help our students help themselves to the world of vocabulary, freeing us up to look at other areas in the classroom.
If you’d like a copy of the presentation, you can download it here. I want to take this opportunity to thank the International House World Organisation for their support – without them I wouldn’t have made it to Budapest to begin with!
Are you an English language teacher? Do you need a new resource to help you in individual and small group lessons?
‘Sixty-Six Little Lessons’ might be just the thing for you. It’s a resource designed by an EFL teacher for other EFL teachers – and I know it works well because I’ve used it extensively in my own lessons.
The idea is fairly simple. Each lesson begins with a picture description, and a few B1/B2-level questions. The next page then widens the topic, supplying B2-C2 level questions and some suggested language; then there is a speaking task, again with supporting language, and finally a homework task for students to look at.

The printed book is available online at Amazon (UK and US), and you can download the pdf along with the optional ppt slides from my Shop.
