Катя Сташевская / Про English - Сообщество творческих учителей

# data[].attributes.body
This group was created on March 27, 2016 by an enthusiastic teacher Katerina Stashevskaya.  Here we can see paid content created by the community author and his colleagues: these are webinars for teaching people of different age categories, and universal quests on various topics to reinforce topics in children in a playful way.

The group's wall is closed, but anyone can send a post using the "Submit news" button.  The community administrator decides whether to publish your post or not.

Usually in their posts, novice teachers ask for advice from those who already have sufficient experience.  Thus, there is an exchange of knowledge about the practice of teaching in a general education school, a private English gymnasium or tutoring.  The last posts of the group were devoted to the topics of English books, the use of tablets in class, the experience of preparing for the Pearson Versant Test, TOEFL exams.  Aspiring teachers were also interested in linguistic coaching courses, but most often their interest falls on the choice of manual.  From time to time, the group conducts various kinds of surveys and advertises paid resources.  The community wall is also (although not as common) used to buy and sell textbooks, find students and, of course, find teachers.  Often, members of this group share their materials for free, which will undoubtedly help make the teacher's lesson more interesting.

In general, this community is suitable for both experienced teachers who need to learn the details, and for beginners who are just starting their careers.

The atmosphere in the group is friendly, everyone helps each other.

The motto of this community is "Who dares to teach must never cease to learn", which means that every teacher must constantly improve in his field of activity.

I would like to tell about the lingo blogger Alexsander Izotov. He lives and works in London, teaches English online and has his personal course for learning English for communication, and he also studied French as a second language. He started his career in 2012.

After viewing his website, I can make some conclusions about his professional activity:

1. There are 2 sections on language learning on the website: the 1st is a general course, and preparation for exams in school and for international exams. Classes can be individual and in groups. Basically the audience consists of the teens and adults.

2. The website has a mission – to teach all types of speech activity. Moreover, there is an opportunity to meet online with a native speaker, and to visit school in London where he works.

3. In addition to the courses, the website has a lot of interesting information about London and GB, a lot of colorful photos of sightseeing, and the author also shares photos from his personal life and his interests (for example, animals and cooking).

4. All classes are paid, but there is an article with Alex`s own videos about London`s phrasal verbs, collocations, and their meanings. (to call it a day – to finish the work, to stop the activity, a man about town – a person who spends a lot of time in fashionable places.

In conclusion, I would like to say that the author makes posts with interesting material, adds videos where he talks about himself and about London; his speech is clear and competent. I was interested in his website, and maybe I would have chosen Alex`s courses to prepare for exams.

The author of the blog is Alyona Kihai, she teaches English online. According to her, Alyona made a lot of mistakes while she studied the subtleties of teaching online, both organizational and technical. In her blog, she talks about how to improve her teaching skills and make online learning more interesting and productive.

This community will be helpful:

- for teachers who are already practicing online learning and who want to develop;
- for beginners who are lost in the technical aspects of online teaching and trying to find answers to all their burning questions from "which headphones to choose?" up to "which is preferable – Jamboard or MIRO?"
- for distance learning professionals who want to share their skills and abilities.

By subscribing to her blog, you will:
- sort out the technical side and stop being afraid of her,
- learn how preparation for online classes differs from offline lessons,
- find the necessary tools, techniques and ideas for your lessons,
- read articles on how to make your lessons the coolest,
- study video selections of the most pressing issues (I will show you what and, most importantly, how to do while working on the Internet)
- make new friends and get the support of like-minded colleagues

I have personally been subscribed to Alyona for a long time, I have found many useful resources for my lessons. Also very useful, in my opinion, are posts where other teachers share their experiences and difficulties, ask questions and help each other. I have found the answer to my question more than once in the comments under such posts. I advise everyone to subscribe to Alyona if you are as interested in online teaching as I am.

"Kindle the love for learning and switch on the students' hearts" – this is the motto of Ekaterina Konon. She is also well-known as «Teacher Switcher». She blogs about English for teachers, shares her findings and ideas for conducting English lessons with her colleagues. Ekaterina answers the most interesting questions of readers by her own and regularly brings up problems familiar to every teacher for discussion. Followers can ask more experienced teachers for advice. Ekaterina Konon also constantly conducts streams, where she discusses useful methodological literature together with the readers of her lingo-blog. Each of her ideas is a finding for English teachers, especially if they teach young children.

If you are interested in the schedule of Ekaterina's blog, it is as follows:

*daily -  some useful material for teachers how to arrange classes in an interesting way, a set of worksheets on a certain theme (e.g. games to activate students' memory about household chores and winter clothes,  worksheets on body parts, etc).

*every evening - answers to the readers' questions in the comments below the "worrying" case.  (e.g. what kind of manual to take for a new school textbook, how to motivate an indifferent student)

*once a week – a stream with the latest news from the world of teaching - how to conduct lessons, what to do during classes, interesting and useful lifehacks for everyone - from beginners to "experienced" English teachers.

If you want to support «Teacher Switcher» and get access to additional closed materials of the group, you can donate a little sum of money (550 rubles) to the author. Moreover, in such a case you can ask Ekaterina to do a presentation personally for you.

There is a number of prepared things that you can just buy in Ekaterina's group - a Halloween house, New Year Theater-Book, Christmas designer for children.

I have been following this blog for about 3 years and vigorously and actively use materials from it for my own private classes with schoolchildren. The target audience of these materials is school children under 11-12 years, but some posts will be of great use for both teenagers and adults.

EGExpert. ЕГЭ/ОГЭ по англ. языку

# data[].attributes.body
In the modern world, there are many linguo-bloggers who are ready to share their knowledge on the Internet. I`ve chosen a blog called «EGExpert. ЕГЭ/ОГЭ по англ. языку». This blog was created on the VKontakte social network in 2018 by the leading expert of the Russian National Exam and the State Russian Exam, Evgenia Sergeevna Kapturova. Evgenia Sergeevna – Candidate of Pedagogical Sciences, associate professor, lives in Moscow.  The blogger conducts courses for teachers to prepare for the Russian National Exam and the State Russian Exam. After analyzing the reviews of teachers who have completed these courses, I can draw the following conclusions:

- strategies for the preparation of all types of activities are given;

- a lot of material is provided;

- each lesson is equipped with presentations, pictures, videos;

- all lectures are recorded and sent to the course participants;

- all changes in the format and evaluation criteria are considered, information is given in the smallest details;

-  valuable tips on the methodology of preparation and assessment of the exams are given.

In addition to conducting paid courses, Evgenia Sergeevna also gives free advice and assistance to everyone. The expert puts out posts with important materials for training aimed at various types of activities. Most often these are pdf-files with lexical and grammatical tasks, writing and speaking tasks. But, it is important to note that Evgenia also posts video materials with tasks, audio recordings and songs, interesting tasks in a playful way; she shares convenient online platforms and online tools that are perfect for distance learning. On the eve of the holidays, the expert shares materials for preparing for exams related to the theme of a holiday. So, for example, in the blog you can find a lot of tasks from the oral and written parts of the Russian National Exam related to the New Year.
All this allows teachers to make their lessons rich and effective, and achieve high results with their students.

This blog is open, which means that other teachers can publish posts, ask questions, ask for advice from more experienced teachers.  Teachers are often interested in which textbooks to choose for training, how to act in a difficult situation (for example, how to evaluate a student's oral or written response; how to choose the right preparation strategy; how to work with students who have poor memory, etc.), and also send their students' work and, together with other teachers, analyze mistakes and share their thoughts.  There is also an opportunity to join a chat where you can discuss any issues non-stop.

This is a wonderful blog created by one woman, which brought together almost 60 thousand followers, which allows you to share your experience and knowledge.

Vocabulary/ Collocations in Use Advanced

# data[].attributes.body
The lingo blog I've chosen belongs to Julia Dmitrieva and it's based on the books 'English Vocabulary in Use' and 'English Collocations in Use' by Cambridge. The blog offers a variety of topics which refer to topics from these SBs. However, the blogger suggests more useful tools for classes (otherwise we could just buy the books).

Here VK users and followers can find:
- quizlet and memrise sets for each unit;
- pdf files with vocabulary and practice tasks from the books (with the keys for the teacher);
- notes on pronunciation
- topical videos (as a rule, 4 videos of different genres. They can be some extracts from news reports or educational videos on youtube.);
- additional interactive quizzes, games (using some extra online resources like Wordwall)
- additional interactive speaking practice (questions for discussion).

Apart from useful material, Julia is a tutor who prepares students for B2, C1 and C2 exams in groups online. She also carries out Exam Sessions on Sundays, discussing examination topics that can be found in CAE and CPE.

Having studied this lingo blog, I can say that this online community is a helping hand for teachers who work with Intermediate/Upper-Intermediate/Advanced Students because the topics suggested in the group are sometimes controversial and require a wide background of the students. This community is also useful for training the vocabulary even for Russian State Exams (but not all of them are included in ЕГЭ and ОГЭ).

Personally, I can recommend this blog to you, if you work with teenagers of 9-11-th grade, but the materials are of no use for younger students. Thanks to this project, I've subscribed to the blog and I'll definitely use its videos and questions for discussion with my students!

This is a blog on the Vkontakte social network, which is led by an English teacher from Pyatigorsk. The name of this blog is quite unusual, as for me, but in fact it makes sense.  Idioma is a "language" in Spanish. In this language there is an expression 'cacao mental'. It means "confusion in the head." That is, her blog is cacao of the languages in which there is a certain element of chaos. This is how she explains the meaning of the name of her blog.

Oksana has been studying English since childhood, she graduated from the linguistic University, where she also studied Spanish. She decided to focus her attention on language teaching rather than translation. She took exams for the language level. As she says herself, she passed the C2 exam. She is also studying French. So, we can safely call her a polyglot.

After reviewing more than 15 posts on this blog, I realized that Oksana mostly talks not about the language itself, but about life, mixing it with English. She writes only about what is interesting to her, so her posts are very lively and often a little short. Of course, she helps people learn a little more about the English language, she writes posts where she explains in detail this or that phenomenon in the language. She often invites her subscribers to guess what this or that idiom means, or asks them to translate from Russian into English.

All posts are written in Russian. I understand why she writes in Russian and not in English. Her audience mainly consists of people who are just starting to learn something, so she embraces a large audience. Oksana often talks about the books she has read or is going to read. Most of these books are in English, there are also books in Spanish and French, but much less often. She also writes in Russian, mixing it with English when explaining a topic or giving examples of the use of idioms, words, expressions, grammatical rules.

A nice feature that surprised me a little was the fact that she arranges something like a book lovers club, but in English. She holds meetings online where they discuss a certain book they have read together. Moreover, the book read is often in English. Thus, it seems to me, she instills in people a love for foreign original literature and increases the level of language among her subscribers. I would like to note that the discussion of the book is also conducted in English, not in Russian.

In conclusion, I would like to say that this blog actually helps people learn English. Of course, it will not help to pass the language proficiency exam, but subscribers can learn something new and interesting with the help of Oksana Kudrova, because she really has a high level of English proficiency. There is also a linguistic and cultural aspect in the blog, not only thanks to books, but also to posts from different countries, for example, from Turkey. So, I would recommend subscribing to this blog, because this woman is really an interesting person who gives decent advice.
