You need to be creative because teaching present perfect simple can be very monotonous, so you’ll try to find new ways, new techniques each year.

It’s one of the most exciting thing about being an English teacher, constant improvement. Everyone’s said it already but will add that I enjoyed your post very much!

Definitely something I try and keep in mind when I teach English here in South Korea. Just the fact that I'm willing to learn from my students' experiences and ask them questions makes for a more dynamic and interesting class. Great list & I've got another great blog to RSS in Google Reader. Neil Excellent post and I completely agree with #1.

What a great idea to have Eva (I admire both of you so much!) write a post on your blog! I agree with you on the fact that I was wondering how an EFL teacher teaching in her second language felt! Thank you! Hi Eva! Thank you so much for a wonderful post! Your every sentence shows how much you love what you are doing; that you do not see teaching as a job, but as the thing you love doing the most. I totally agree with you that an EFL teachers should be lifelong learners, not only for their own benefit, but also for their students' benefit. Learning about other people's cultures - jhow important that is! Teachers can learn about the students' cultures, if it is a diverse environment, and the other way round! A very basic component of an EFL classroom - respect to one another's culture and personality. And, after starting to blog and tweet, I will agree with you again. You can become connected to fantastic educators aroud the world (I feel very lucky about this!) and share ideas, methods, articles, links - you name it! Thank you Barbara and Eva for a wonderful post! Kindest regards, Vicky Hi Barbara!
