Most of us, teachers, hardly ever communicate in English with people other than our students.
In time, we end up rusty: our fluency wanes, words slip away and we even start making silly grammar mistakes!
So, we try to reverse the situation. But it's hard because:
-
We are busy teaching so many lessons;
-
We have exams and assignments to mark;
-
We often have no other colleagues to learn with;
-
We don't have a tutor to support us.
Do you agree?
If so, I've got good news for you:
The Teachers' Open Space!
