From 2022, for teachers interested in research and how we might ‘teach grammar’. frenchteachernet.blogspot.com/2022/06/what...

Fellow Spanish speakers, the podcast “ojalá lo hubiera sabido antes “ is so good! Episode on when 2 intervene & advise others: did they ask 4 my help? Do I have time? Do I want 2? If no, “déjales” live and learn. More on the temptation to control others: open.spotify.com/episode/2rRb...

#langchat @langchatpln.bsky.social #iteachwl #summer #Edsky #teacher what do my fellow teachers do for 💵 in the summer? I cant work the full 8 weeks, but can do 1-2 weeks here and there. What kind of job can that be? Need some ideas! Tutoring is an option but I wanna do something different!
