- Deeprhythms.com
- Deeprhythms.com Another waaay off-topic post, but I just wanted to share this site with anyone who might be interested. If you like House music, then this site definitely has to be in your bookmarks.

- Planning and Assessing for Inclusive Practice
- Well then. I haven’t posted in more than two months. I have no excuse, really - I was having too much fun before and during the Christmas period, and I’ve just been insanely busy since then with a massive assignment and planning and assessment related to my work based experience. However, that assignment is now [...]

Nevertheless, the teaching component was actually pretty hard, and rather nerve-wracking. The teaching practice, dubbed a “micro-teach” by the university Education Department, involved looking at one aspect of English (above word-level) and [...]
- First!
- Right then… This is my first post, so I suppose a brief overview of what this blog is about would be sensible: I’m an English teacher in the UK. At the moment, I’m working towards a PGDE in Skills for Life - English for Speakers of Other Languages (ESOL). This is a full-time course similar to [...]
