A teacher who hates methodological books yet preaches methodology to anyone who might listen…
Ok, I am going far here, really far. The title is clickbait, guilty as charged. I like methodological books as much as any teacher. However, I have to confess that I don’t really have a favourite. They are a means to an end. Moreover, I learn better from people.
But I do have some that I like quite a lot more than books about teaching systems and skills. Only now do I realize that I’ve read both in book clubs and that is one of the reasons I like them so much.
🌔How Language are Learnt by P. M. Lightbown and N. Spada. It’s a really engaging read about how we learn languages (dah!). I really loved the last chapter about error correction, it made me think a lot (my brain hurt).
🌖Psychology in Language Learning and Teaching by M. Williams, S. Mercer, S. Ryan. This one is a treasure trove for teachers who want to understand their students and the students’ motives us much as possible. This book changed my teaching style a little bit, but it had a much greater impact as well – it made me understand why I am doing what I am doing in the way I am doing it (if that makes sense).
Both books are in the comments if you’d like to read them.
A huge thanks to @infoasis for such an inspiring topic! BTW, I am participating in their challenge, and so far the questions have been really fun to write about.
Would you recommend any books?
Yours,
Yulia 💙
P.S. I am going to post the above mentioned turkey song WS tomorrow, so stay tuned.

"There are a lot of things that Telegram could have been doing this whole time. And they know exactly what they are and they've chosen not to do them. That's why I don't trust them," she said. Soloviev also promoted the channel in a post he shared on his own Telegram, which has 580,000 followers. The post recommended his viewers subscribe to "War on Fakes" in a time of fake news. At the start of 2018, the company attempted to launch an Initial Coin Offering (ICO) which would enable it to enable payments (and earn the cash that comes from doing so). The initial signals were promising, especially given Telegram’s user base is already fairly crypto-savvy. It raised an initial tranche of cash – worth more than a billion dollars – to help develop the coin before opening sales to the public. Unfortunately, third-party sales of coins bought in those initial fundraising rounds raised the ire of the SEC, which brought the hammer down on the whole operation. In 2020, officials ordered Telegram to pay a fine of $18.5 million and hand back much of the cash that it had raised. In February 2014, the Ukrainian people ousted pro-Russian president Viktor Yanukovych, prompting Russia to invade and annex the Crimean peninsula. By the start of April, Pavel Durov had given his notice, with TechCrunch saying at the time that the CEO had resisted pressure to suppress pages criticizing the Russian government. "We're seeing really dramatic moves, and it's all really tied to Ukraine right now, and in a secondary way, in terms of interest rates," Octavio Marenzi, CEO of Opimas, told Yahoo Finance Live on Thursday. "This war in Ukraine is going to give the Fed the ammunition, the cover that it needs, to not raise interest rates too quickly. And I think Jay Powell is a very tepid sort of inflation fighter and he's not going to do as much as he needs to do to get that under control. And this seems like an excuse to kick the can further down the road still and not do too much too soon."
