Hi everyone,

I teach English to speakers of other languages. My students are mainly from Europe with some North African, Turkish, Japanese and Korean students. I work in a language school and my classes last for three hours per day and have a maximum of ten students. I have been teaching for ten years and hold the CELTA qualification.

I found this MOOC a little late so I am trying to catch up with the opening tasks. I have set up this blog and hope that it will be a central part of my course. Clearly from the initial reading of things reflection and participation will be big part of the course. I missed the Saturday meeting because I miscalculated the time but hopefully I'll get the hang of things.

I hope to build some lasting relationships with fellow teachers and to learn about online learning in order to help me build online resources for my students but more importantly to understand what a student goes through in an online learning environment.

So good luck to everyone and I hope to make lots of new friends over the coming months.
Regards,
John
