We spoke with Richard Chinn and Danny Norrington-Davies about it. The podcast episode is coming out in the coming days, but here's a sneak peek of 5 key takeaways from the episode: - asking good questions is where all good lessons succeed - forcing language to emerge is where good lessons fail - teacher training courses focus on teachers. Where's the focus on the students? What do you think about these takeaways? How do you view emergent language? You can listen to all Teacher Talking Time podcast episodes in any app, or on our website. Look for this great one with Richard and Danny later this week. And they have an awesome book called "Working with emergent language" as well.

#Core task 1 I had the following idea (assembling all the insights I had lately and the experiences here in the group), and I'm hoping for some feedback: 1) create an IG business profile - yeah, serious, I don't have one - or maybe any other platform? 2) maybe start with some information about me??? (is this the usual strategy to fill up a bit an empty profile?) 3) set the idea of holiday/summer grammar review or intensive course, based on doubts and questions students have by commenting them (like: "Do you remember .... ? Still feeling insecure between ... and ... ? etc) - this may narrow down the vast grammar topics, although I've already sorted out some, based on my years of experience 4) wait and see what comes back - Start first, then learn. Sell first, then go crazy. 😅 But I've a lot of doubts about IG, I'm not a poster and not even frequent user. Do you have any tips? My LinkedIn account is about 12 years untouched... Do I need to present a logo and my business name? As I'm a German as a foreign language teacher, the name is "Punkt.Deutsch". Feel free to look up the words in dictionaries and comment on the meaning.

How's everyone doing today? Respond with a meme or GIF. 😃
