Twenty Influential English Teacher Websites to Watch inĀ 2025
Teaching English can be a thoroughly rewarding experience, which is why I have been involved in this profession for quite a while now. It obviously becomes natural for any professional educators to share websites that have guided their teaching and as I approach my 20th anniversary teaching English to international students, it seems fitting to share twenty influential English teacher websites to access in 2025.

Stochastic parrots and the metaphors of AI in ELT
Much of the language we use is metaphorical. These metaphors both shape and reflect the way we think. Often, as in the preceding sentence, they give agency (a human attribute) to non-human entitiesā¦

I was motivated to write a blog post about social media & professional development by the announcement that ZuākŃrberĒ§ made yesterday about how he'll be moderating content from now on. In summary: Iām not impressed, and Iām not sure what it means for us.

Descending Into TheĀ Metaverse
Image by Hans from Pixabay I've been using social media as a form of professional development for about as long as social media has existed, so I always have a lot of thoughts about the way that we use it professionally as well as personally. Like a lot of people, I have a love-hate relationship with it nowadays because while there are things that I still enjoy about it, I haven't been entirely happy with the landscape for quite a while.

I started my YouTube channel back in 2012 when I wanted to document one of my experimental teaching practices for my MA. Fast forward to 2025, and I still make videos. However, after many years, I became monetised, but how much do I get paid?
