It didn’t happen easily but it looks like it’s finally happened. I’ve mustered all the courage it takes to put myself out there. I have to thank Marisa and Micaela for giving me that last gentle prod. Thank you both. Saudi Arabia can feel like a lonely place when one reads about all the ELT activity happening elsewhere.

By a ‘course’ here I mean an intensive pre-service training course, or a course for in-service teachers, usually lasting between 2 and 5 weeks, taking place either in my native Ukraine or abroad.

Zhenya Polosatova's reflective lounge: learning, teaching, teacher training. It has been a while since I last posted here. To be precise, it has been exactly 6 months since my last post here. Wow.

Seem to sense those moments and reply with comments. What are your 2-3 favorite writing habits/rituals you find helpful?
