What's new in your teaching?

Let us know what you are doing differently. Take the follow-up survey "Linking Congolese English Teachers to the World of English Teaching - One Month Later" powered by Survey Monkey.
All responses are voluntary and anonymous! Go ahead- there are only six questions and I promise it won't take long! Thanks!!

Watch and Hear all our Team Chants on YouTube!

Inspired by Jazz Chants by Carolyn Graham, we all took turns creating and performing our Team Chant.
Here's the "Everybody, How Are You? Team Chant!"


Watch them all here!
