• Tips for teachers

You probably know that feeling: a lesson flows perfectly, ideas come one after another — and suddenly you want to capture those thoughts, structure them, and bring students into a real discussion. That’s when online whiteboards become more than just a convenient tool — they turn into a shared thinking space. They help visualize language, make the abstract tangible, and transform even simple exercises into a live exchange of ideas. Below is my honest and practical guide to using Miro and Mural effectively in English lessons — without overload, and with maximum impact. 😊

• Teaching methods

The Task-Based Learning (TBL) method is a communicative approach to teaching English that emerged in the late 1980s as part of the shift from theoretical instruction to practice-oriented learning. Its aim is to help learners use English as a tool for solving real-life problems: discussing travel routes, preparing presentations, or conducting negotiations.

TBL grew out of the communicative approach when educators noticed that students progress faster when they use language to achieve specific goals rather than complete abstract exercises. In such lessons, grammar and vocabulary are not treated as separate topics; they become natural means of communication.

This approach delivers tangible results: fluency rises, motivation increases, and learners gain confidence. Students speak more freely, fear mistakes less, and see a clear purpose in every lesson. For teachers, TBL is a way to make classes lively, dynamic, and more productive.

Let’s look at how to prepare a lesson using TBL principles — and why this approach simplifies the teacher’s work while improving student outcomes.

• Teaching Career

Have you ever felt that the world became a little brighter after a successful lesson? For me, teaching English has always been about that feeling — connection, growth, and real impact. Today, let’s talk honestly and without clichés about how to start a teaching career, what qualifications you need, how TEFL and TESOL certificates help, and where to find jobs if you want to teach online or abroad.
