Blogs by English Teachers

English Teacher or English Teaching Blogs

This section lists those teacher or teaching blogs which we think merit reading. The blogs are all very different, but all interesting in one way or another. Some look at the day to day life of a teacher, others at teaching techniques, materials and methods. In any event, whatever their content or focus, we think they're all worth a read. We recently culled a number of blogs from this listing on the grounds that they were no longer being updated, and will continue to do so in the future. If there's a blog you think is worth reading, submit it using the button at the bottom of the page.
