A Great Blog on Teaching English to Young Learners of English



This blog belongs to a colleague of mine. Her name is Nina Kisin.
She is a private school teacher.
Regarding the blog, I must say the posts are extremely useful and interesting. The blog offers ready-to-use materials.
Nina, if only I had known about the posts back at the time I was substitute teaching first- to fourth-graders...
Still, at least I now have some great ideas and tips for future reference.
If you are working with young learners and you have been running out of ideas, I suggest you take a look at the blog:

Dear followers,
Have a successful week at work (or whatever that is you are occupied with at the moment) and please feel free to post comments on the blog, and especially to share useful ideas, links, personal experiences, etc.

How to deal with challenging learners?

Hello everyone.
I'd like to direct you to something very useful my good friend and colleague, Vesna Dejić, recently posted on her blog (her blog is also related to teaching English).
Recently she attended a webinar on dealing with challenging learners and she summed it up in a blog post.
Personally, I find the post really helpful, and will try and incorporate the tips from it in my teaching as soon as I start teaching once again.

As you all know, there is an ever growing number of challenging learners. We, as public school teachers, have a duty of finding a way to deal with such learners. It is our job to provoke and boost their interest for learning English.

Here's the link to the post:

I am sure you'll find this blog post (and the entire blog) useful and interesting in many ways.
