This is the beginning!

This is just a short entry to introduce myself and to explain briefly the aim of this blog.

My name is Lourdes and I am an English teacher. In fact, I have been teaching English at secondary schools in the Basque Country for the last twenty five years. At the moment I am working as an advisor at the Berritzegune in Ortuella.

Although my primary task is not to advise on English specifically; honestly, that is probably my strongest point due to my long experience in teaching teenagers.

After wondering how to help other English teachers in their daily task, the idea of creating this blog came to me. And this is it.

I will try to post an entry a week trying to offer you, busy and hardworking teachers, ready-to-use materials, reflections on new methodological approaches, or simply new ideas for your classes. I know that teachers are always ready to use new materials, but assessment, loads of burocratic work and other enddless school engagements don't let us find the time to find the materials we would like to use.

I know it will not be easy to surprise you and to find useful materials, but you can be sure I will do my best to help you.

Thank you for your time and good luck in your daily work.
