The repository “Teaching Essential Toolkit” is a digital space designed to collect and organize, in a coherent and accessible way, the pedagogical resources developed throughout the different phases of the course Didactics of English.

In this repository, you will find expert presentations that provide theoretical foundations, the lesson plans designed in phase 2, a complete didactic unit created in phase 3, artificial intelligence-based activities developed in phase 5, and a deep reflection on the current role of teachers. Each resource is accompanied by a brief description that explains its usefulness and application in the classroom, allowing for clear, organized, and functional navigation.
