I haven’t posted here for quite a while and people may think this is because I have either not done anything since August or because I have done too much and haven’t got the time to blog. Neither of them is true.
The second part of the year has been really busy as I started the second year of my PhD at the Open University and keep teaching a couple of hours at the ELTU at the University of Leicester. Work on the IATEFL and the BC TeachingEnglish website is still going on as usual. Besides that I have been trying to pen a couple of articles and book chapters. Open for business as usual. The difference is that I have mainly transferred my reflections to my private research blog. It is there that I have spent most of my blogging hours.
Nonetheless, 2012 is starting and, as most people, I have made my resolutions and one of them is to be back to my ELT Blog, which this January is becoming 6 years old! It all started with the Hornby Summer School is Sao Paulo with Bee introducing us to the idea of blogging. I found it really interesting and now I keep 4 of them 
So many things have changed in the last couple years and here are some pics just to celebrate people who have been important and influencial in my ELT life and the friends I have made – and lost – on the way.
