My blogroll is here!
David Dodgson -Â www.modernenglishteacher.com/using-real-life-to-encourage-genuine-language
When I read his blog, I admired him because he had similiar thoughts that I had. Made me feel less lonely! For instance his blogpost "‘I eat present simple for breakfast!’ Using real life to encourage genuine language" is exactly how I feel about general English teaching! I couldn't agree more. I admire his thoughts of teaching something to students with a discourse book, that has a very unrealistic view on how life and English works.

This blog has many episodes, but this one in particular (Assessing ELLs during Distance Learning) made me realize something that I have thought of, but never looked on: evaluating student's homeworks/grades! The advice I took was to start things earlier and take it slowly, also foresee what students are going to need, and learn what they're going to do in the semester.
Paul Dixon - www.i-to-i.com/tefl-blog/teaching-english-asia/teaching-english-japan-pauls-story/
I searched up about teaching in Japan especially when I was looking for blogs. This blog not only showed me what's like to teach in Japan, but also how is it like in Japan generally (like daily life, etc.)
Sarrah and Alex - www.teachaway.com/blog/perspective-teaching-english-japan
This is Sarrah, explaining Alex's experiences on what it's like to be an English teacher in Japan, and living in Japan. Before actually speaking about what's like to be an English teacher there, he tells us the general work manners in Japan, which is very useful, since things are a lot different there. Alex also tells us what to do BEFORE starting to teach and come to Japan. I find this very important, because not only English teaching is hard, but living there is also hard if you're not prepared for it. Good advices!
Fernando M Diez Gallego - fernandoexperiences.blogspot.com
Fernando has many blogposts that have valuable information! Even though each of them are short, there's still so many you can read about. Not only he tells you about improving as a teacher, but also giving advices on how to get better at a language, to help your students or to yourself if English is your second language (in this case, it's me). I'm sure he has more and more advises in his blog. Since there's too many, i plan to read them later on too!
Damien Herlihy -Â www.etprofessional.com/features-for-language-teachers-in-zoom-you-dont-know-about
I wanted to add this as an extra because I came across to it out of nowhere. Damien posted a short video about Online teaching with Zoom and since online teaching became more common, and probably will become more and more common in the future, I decided to see how to get better at it. Video involves lots of tips and tricks about Zoom platform.
