I know it has been a while since I joined Twitter conversations. Hope to be more active now! A question for my new project: where do you find good reading texts, dif-t genres/cultures, (semi-)authentic, ideally around 200-300 words. Collecting ideas!

Can the process of Planning be a resilience tool? Preparing for a Reflective Group meeting with my Ukrainian colleagues, and while it is not the time to be focusing on CPD as in the pre-war times, they are voting for this topic. Looking for ideas on making this session special.

Grateful for the comments to my Peer Feedback Tips post: wednesdayseminars.wordpress.com/2022/08/10/pee… > > While I don't think all of them can be applied at the same time/at each session, it certainly helps to look through the list before talking to smb about their lesson. Choose the kind side. 🧡

Love the idea of these doors: the poster can be co-created with the students, and can be a combo of L1/L2 for #EFL #ESL classes? Robert Plutchik's Wheel of Emotions

Spent some time this morning trying to figure out the difference between a Proverb, Adage and an Aphorism. Hm, clearly need to read more on them all. And on sayings... examples.yourdictionary.com/what-s-the-dif… #ELT non #ELT > > The ultimate ... lies in not having to explain "why" you did smth.

Another older article about feedback from @edutopia: edutopia.org/blog/starting-… > > The part I really like is the Heart🧡 and Brain 🧠 feedback. Just thought how much more heart (any?) feedback may need :-)

If I were thinking to take Delta, @sandymillin would be the trainer I'd turn to for prep and resources. Her course sounds great!🌳

It is very interesting to receive a comment on a post written a loooooong time ago (2015): wednesdayseminars.wordpress.com/2015/08/06/que… > > and the comment made me re-read the post, and re-reading made me think how the answers to those ??s would be same/different in 2022. Maybe, a new post? 🐾

What would your 'Top Three Tips' for Peer Feedback be? Mine #1 Be Specific (Why you are saying what you are saying: what did you observe?), #2 Be Kind (Why are you saying what you are saying?), #3 Explore Together (rather than 'evaluate' yr peer). #ELT #teachertraining
