Teachers' Corner

Imagine a visit to a very collegial lounge where you can relax a moment and sip your tea and chat, or dish if you need to. This is a place to connect and renew the spirit that led you into teaching.
Every teacher has had “one of those days,” and you’ll find solace and solutions in this section’s teacher diaries and “Dear YANA” columns. YANA stands for You Are Not Alone, and represents the sage advice of language teaching professionals.
All of your questions about languages, no matter how obscure they might be, are addressed by Dora Johnson in “Languages? Ask Dora.”
If the tech support folks are beginning to hang around your classroom, you might need some of the “Tech for Teachers” advice and tutorials.
Another source of information and support is the fellow teachers available through the many teacher forums and professionals listservs.
