Guest Author

Would you like to write a guest post for Teaching Village?

I’m always happy to find EFL teachers who would like to guest blog for Teaching Village. Currently, I’m looking for teachers interested in writing for one of two series:

Stories from the Front Lines of EFL

Stories from the Front Lines of EFL is an on-going series, and features EFL teachers sharing their personal teaching stories–where and how you teach, who your students are, why you became a teacher, anything that will help readers understand what English as a Foreign Language classes for young learners are like in your part of the world. You can read other posts in this series for ideas.

Stuff All EFL Teachers Should Know

Stuff EFL Teachers Should Know is also an on-going series. I’d like teachers to share one thing they think all EFL teachers–and especially teachers of young learners–should know. This can be big stuff, like a teaching methodology or technique, or small stuff, like a sure-fire activity or an online resource–anything you feel will help EFL teachers be better language teachers.

Lessons Learned From Students

Lessons Learned From Students is a new series. Sometimes our most valuable lessons as teachers come from our students. What lesson have you learned from your students? Please share, so that the rest of us can learn, too.

A few general guidelines, to keep your writing in line with the “flavor” of Teaching Village:

1.       Please avoid technical language. Acronyms and educational jargon are not universally understood.

2.      Please try to keep your post at 1000 words or less.

3.       You are welcome to include links to your school website, or your own website, but please avoid using your post to directly advertise a for-profit product.

4.       Please include a little information and a picture of yourself to be included in a short “bio” at the end of your post. Feel free to include a link to your own blog or Twitter page, if you have one.

5.       If appropriate, I would love for you to include photos of your classroom or students. However, please be careful of their safety and privacy (i.e., No last names).

So, would you like to be a guest author on Teaching Village? I look forward to hearing from you!
