Really thoughtful piece and very true. I agree with all your points but I like the first one the most. Being a life long learner…has taken me all my life and something that has really become a part of who I am. It is due to teaching and learning.

Hi Eva.We are certainly better when we work together.The very fact that you opted to share with members of teaching fraternity the gleanings from your teaching experience is proof enough that you really love the calling of teaching.
Any knowledge which we sit upon gets corroded.The beauty of sharing has no parallel.I congratulate you on all the fine ideas you shared with us.My Facebook ID is Rustam Ali (from Havelian).

I really liked this post,especially N° 6.A teacher must play the actor to drive the point home…Teaching is a love or leave Job…
Teaching is an as well as a science..

Hello Eva and Barbska,
I love the post Eva, the 10 facts about ELT apply to me as well and while reading I said “that’s so true for myself as well”!
And Barbska, I was receiving your letters monthly via email- how did I miss this wonderful blog of yours! Shame on me! )
Now that we’re all in twitter and that I added this blog to my favorites- hasn’t my world expanded again? Thanks for all the efforts and the motivation you bring to my life, Best, Sebnem
