Introduction to this blog

The objective of this blog is to record real life situations in a TEFL classroom and to summarize successful and unsuccessful aspects of a particular class with addition of subsequent analyses. The name of the blog is "TEFL guinea pigs" because that's what I sometimes jokingly call my students when I give them a worksheet that I created or when I am trying out an original methodological approach. In this blog I will focus on language and methodology related topics and anything else that I might deem important for a successful English class. A little bit about me: I am a CELTA-certified English teacher with work experience in Russia, Ireland and Germany. I currently work and reside in Berlin.
