This website is a hub for teachers, particularly teachers involved in youth English language learning who are looking to improve the quality of their influence.
In our Materials section, you’ll find homemade, high-quality materials for CLT classrooms.
Eventually, we will also have other resources for parents, teachers, administrators, and older students looking to meaningfully engage in English language content.
Language is a vessel – there’s always a particular reason why we use it, and that reason is of paramount importance. As most language learning textbooks are rather sterilized of progressive values, challenging truths, genuine problem-solving, and healthy doses of good old-fashioned fun, we’re eager to share some of our favorite and most influential resources with you.
The Teaching: Theory and Practice section is a distillation of dozens of books, decades of personal practice, and centuries of exploring the human condition.
Some of our fundamental inquiries include:
What does it actually mean to be a “teacher”?
How does being “well-educated” differ from being “well-trained”?
What’s the best way to determine one’s effectiveness as an educator?
What do we owe those around us, especially the weakest and most vulnerable?
How exactly might one conduct a world-class language learning program?
How can we draw from Confucius and Banksy; from Noam Chomsky and Benjamin Franklin, inspired by all to improve the quality of our relationships, experiences, and influence?
