I’m Phil Wade an EFL teacher and amateur writer. I now live on a small island in the Indian Ocean and this is my blog of ideas, thoughts and reflections. I’m not sure what I will write or when so if you’re reading this good luck!
I enjoy teaching, designing courses, examining and reflecting on the what and how of teaching and education.

Hi Phil
Loved reading your post. It’s the beginning of the school year in Buenos Aires and I have been trying to work on some kind of plan for the term, though I’m a freelance teacher and there’s no principal pushing me, just wanted to see what I could come up with so that I donĀ“t have do much planning when I am tied up with classes. I have been UNABLE! After reading your post, I am beginning to understand why.
What a refreshing read! Thanks for posting
Cheers Helen.
