Hi :)

Hi :)

I'm a freelance (mainly) one-to-one tutor in Hungary, teaching all sorts of students with different purposes: very young learners, children who need extra help with their school work, exam prep, adults, business Engish, etc.
Why am I into publishing?
My experience is that young and teen learners today are not too engaged with traditional ELT materials. Some of them do not want to learn English at all. On the other hand, they love to make slime, paper planes, cook, make stop-motion videos, they are also willing to make an effort to get what they want in terms of experience. The idea in mind is a collection of lesson sequences and probably worksheets built of activities like these.
I can't wait :)

    Welcome, Barbi. I have the same experience with my students. Traditional textbooks too often don’t match the interest level or the linguistic level of too many students in any given class - slime, on the other hand, is always a winner.

    A collection of lesson plans sounds like a great project. Worksheets can be trickier, but we'll talk about ways to handling those.

    Nice meeting you Barbi Bujtas ! I teach young learners and teenagers too, and face exactly the same reality with my students! At the age of the Internet, students' interests and ideals seem to be more or less the same, at any part of the world! Enjoy the course!

Hello everyone

Hello everyone, Almost everything has been finalised in my story. Only the info about the creators (Author and illustrator) is missing and I need to have a professional picture taken of me and my daughter, Evita (the illustrator), but I won't have the pic until mid November :(. Re the font type - I used Arial. Should I change to Times New Roman? I hope you can find a few minutes to write a comment on this almost-final draft of my story. I have a question: as you know Evita has done the illustrations, but the background was a bit greyish. I asked a graphic designer friend of mine to whiten the background for me and to do a few minor tweaks. I would like to ask her in the future to help me with the next books in the series, too. I like giving credit where the credit is due - where could I mention Stella's name? https://drive.google.com/open?id=1i1oWSFC_8YNVQq0o9OyIj0wYQMGjDlh1

Hi all! I'm happy to report that my health is much improved. Thank goodness! Ain't nobody got time for being ill.

Hi all! I'm happy to report that my health is much improved. Thank goodness! Ain't nobody got time for being ill. So ... where is everybody? I know I extended the deadlines out to the end of October for people on the accomplishment track and the end of November for those working towards the distinction certificate... let's see some finished projects! :) Could the distinction people email me theirs separately? Either a .mobi or an .epub is fine. zemach@comcast.net is probably best. For the others, why not post here, and we can all give some congratulations and feedback? (Distinction people welcome to post theirs here as well, of course!)

It´s me again! I got enthusiastic and did almost the whole book. There are two or three pictures missing.

It´s me again! I got enthusiastic and did almost the whole book. There are two or three pictures missing. I'd love to know your opinion about: *the whole thing, of course! *the two covers- do you like them? Which one most? *the font- is it clear? big enough? *the last page- is it clear that lights are off? *the line in the middle of some pages to separate different situations- any other idea? *the dialogues- is it clear enough who is talking? If Fluffy or his Mum? *any language mistake? Eager to read you all, especially Dorothy Zemach!!! https://www.canva.com/design/DADFcVJg0dg/OHGA7qnG3hQA_uO99vRWsw/view?utm_content=DADFcVJg0dg&utm_campaign=designshare&utm_medium=link&utm_source=sharebutton https://www.canva.com/design/DADFcVJg0dg/OHGA7qnG3hQA_uO99vRWsw/view?utm_content=DADFcVJg0dg&utm_campaign=designshare&utm_medium=link&utm_source=sharebutton
