The latest issue of Modern English Teacher contains an article that develops some of the ideas I shared in my IATEFL plenary earlier this year. pavilionelt.com/met/

Brilliant Nik. Thanks for sharing ☺️ 😂

No wonder #KierStarmer as #LabourParty leader stuck by #PeterMandelson friend of #SexOffender #JeffreyEpsitien - after all he was devoted to spending every day undermining the leadership of #JeremyCorbyn #NiceOne #Starmer. For #RealChange sign up #YourParty #YourPartyUK youtube.com/watch?v=X0dP...

Hi. @zackpolanski.bsky.social I note @graceblakeley.substack.com likes this suggestion. If you 2 could sort it that would be brilliant. Challenging #ExistingPowerRelations needs this to happen. Please @boldpolitics.bsky.social try to do it 4 a #ProgressiveAlternative @greenparty.org.uk #YourPartyUK

Agreed @zackpolanski.bsky.social channel @boldpolitics.bsky.social is a brilliant new outlet & after 1st interview with #AshSarkar it would be good to see @graceblakeley.substack.com up next. Ash made me think #YourPartyUK is where I belong, but Grace might persuade me it's the @greenparty.org.uk

There is now a serious progressive alternative - help form & shape a progressive #PoliticalParty for #RealChange, including in #Education. Sign up to #YourPartyUK

For #YourPartyUK our #EnglandFlag #StGeorgeFlag even on roundabouts can celebrate #ethnicity of #StGeorge who had #Greek father & #Palestinian mother, thus representing #ethnicdiversity #refugeeswelcome etc & much positivity besides. Let's turn the #farright narrative on its head. Join us Sign up

Based on evidence so far #DavidLammy doing the right thing on #Gaza is quite unlikely. I hope I'm wrong. The #Palestinian people, including some of it's brightest hopes for a better future deserve so much more. #InStruggle. #FreePalestine. For #RealChange #UCU should support #YourPartyUK

New & more progressive #EducationPolicy at ALL levels from #nursery to #university will, in due course, need to come out of #YourPartyUK. In the meantime any thoughts from interested followers on what the party should call itself?

I think you might mean "Occasionally this government listens to workers. And acts"? For a #government that will do far better sign up to #YourPartyUK & help build a #NewPoliticalParty which challenges #ExistingPowerRelations & will thus genuinely be on the side of #WorkingPeople.

First interview by @zarahsultana.bsky.social on a #NewPoliticalParty. Good to see her bypass the #MSM & give it to @novaramedia.com coz even the slightly #centerleft mainstream (e.g. @newsagents.bsky.social patronise & mock us - "you can't make this up"). #YourPartyUK youtu.be/VDC8lNkFfTQ?...

It's started & yet we already have 300,000+, more than the Tories or Reform. As we grow they will come for our policies & fail, so then they will ruthlessly undermine individuals. The lessons of history is that we must build an alternative #hegemony. #YourParty #ForTheMany #TaxTheRich

In #UK #Education, #AppliedLinguistics, #LanguageEducation, #HEI, #ESOL, #TESOL & #InternationalStudents we need a real #progressivealternative to @teamlabouruk.bsky.social

@philipjkerr.bsky.social on a BC study What's (not) changed in #ELT. I'd argue #praxis can usefully bridge & challenge a binary #theory - #research vs #practice - #teaching dicotomy in #TESOL. @thornburyscott.bsky.social on #mediation is useful. adaptivelearninginelt.wordpress.com/2025/07/17/w...

"When history looks back people will wonder how artists could have had a microphone in front of them and not said anything." I spoke today to the News Agents. 👇🏼

The UK has long been a place where so-called ‘apostates’ sought sanctuary—fleeing persecution for exercising freedom of religion, belief, and expression. Tomorrow’s case is a test of the UK’s commitment to upholding freedom of expression as a fundamental right.

I asked #ChatGPT to describe my research insights into a post #MobileAssistedLanguageLearning paradigm of #MobileAssistedLanguageUse in #AppliedLinguistics - It came up with this, to which I can only concur, particularly in relation to #TaskBased #teaching & #learning in #LanguageEducation

#Austerity IS a political choice by #RachelReeves & @teamlabouruk.bsky.social under #KeirStarmer. Sign this for a progressive alternative. Say no to #WelfareCuts & yes for #ProgressiveTaxation

I'm sad to have read reports that #JohnSwales has died. To many in #TESOL, #ESP, #LanguageEducation & #AppliedLinguistics his work was cutting edge. 9 yrs ago he kindly provided this #Keynote on #genre & #EAP for my YT channel. #RIP John & thanks for your brilliant work. youtu.be/W--C4AzvwiU?...
