      Hi all. inspired by the conversation we had on Sunday, and also by @mila-pandzic talking about literature, I have decided to teach this lesson. Interestingly I am doing it instead of a lesson called ‘Being Green’ because the contents of the default lesson I am supposed to teach is so stereotypical of a boring environment lesson. Full of…Read More

        Hi! I didn’t comment your great lesson! First of all, I like the literary text, the elegy, the walnut trees… Such an inspiring elegy! I am thrilled how you approached the text and applied it to your students. It is amazing how can a text/a poem remind us of some pictures from nature, pictures around us, as you were reminded of the pictures of…Read More

      Hi all,
      The lesson I have chosen is one that a friend, Milica, wrote for this site.

      I have chosen the lesson ‘Building an Eco-house’. It is available on the ELTsustainable site here:

      Young Learners and Online Project-Based Learning: Building an Eco-House

      I chose this because I don’t often have the c…Read More

        It’s a great lesson, and very demanding, but I like the final “product” – the sustainable house. Such a great idea! They can use the knowledge they gained in this lesson and then make something so creative. I like the CLIL teaching method. Milica’s lessons are really inspiring. I am thinking how to use it one day…….

      Here are some words about me:
      1. Video editing
      2. IATEFL
      3. Not enough
      Guess why I wrote them @rian-mcguinness @mila-pandzic @marcela-vilan

        Maybe you are taking part in an IATEFL conference? And maybe you don’t have “enough” time for everything? At least I don’t. 🙂

          Good guesses. I’m going to be in the plenary discussion at IATEFL Belfast in May talking about sustainability. It was another reason though that I write not enough. Any ideas @marcela-villan?

        Hi again @eltsusta, I am guessing you are currently honing your video editing skills in some way. Is this correct? If so could you share which courses and/or software you use?

          Hi @rian-mcguinness, correct! I’m currently working on suggesting, not making, the edits to bring some really interesting British Council Zoom recordings for a project called ‘Greening Algeria’s Campuses. It’s really interesting listening to these Algerian and British experts talking about how to make universities greener. I’m not at the level of…Read More

            @rian-mcguinness I take it that this is something you are getting into or thinking of starting. I think it’s one of these perenially useful skills to learn. What has got you into this?

              Hi Owain. Actually, I haven’t done a lot, but I did do some videos using PowerPoint during the pandemic. Did you notice how much PowerPoint evolved during that time? Anyway, it was fun and I wanted to learn more about making and editing actual videos and a colleague recommended this:…Read More

                @rian-mcguinness indeed I did notice, I’ve become a real fan of using PowerPoint. Two things I really appreciate are the fact that you get free stock images to embed with the new PowerPoint and also the fact that you get AI-driven formatting. I’ve really pushed it where I work to get away from ‘wonky’ flipcharts done on the old IWB software.

                Also @rian-mcguinness you mentioned using PowerPoint-like video software? How does that work? is it using morphing transitions and 3D objects?

        Hi Owain, in what way are you associated with IATEFL?

          Hi Tugce, a good question. Yesterday I applied to be a volunteer for the IATEFL Gisig website. Wish me luck :-). I also was a panelist on the closing plenary at IATEFL Belfast in May. Are you involved with IATEFL too?

            How great! I don’t know how I missed IATEFL Belfast this year! in many, many ways, that’d be a great experience – I am missing good old conference hall, having a drink (errrrr… not from plastic cups, I swear! I always carry my mug with me LOL!) during breaks chatting with new people there! And i wish you the very best of luck in your new project…Read More

              It was my first time at IATEFL and I really enjoyed it, and I too enjoyed a drink or too (of the Irish-served-in-a-pintglass variety). Maybe you could get involved with the IATEFL Global Issues special interest group. What about BALEAP? Being new to EAP I am wondering about it and whether there is anything good happening there.

                I bet you did enjoy it – after years of online webinars! 🙂 Looking forward to becoming a BALEAP member again (once I was). It is something I am doing non-stop at the background (summer pre-sessionals/ part time in-sessionals etc). I don’t think I am good enough for IATEFL Global Issues SIG lol. 😉
