  Do you know what UX/UI stands for? No… it’s not another buzz word, or ELT jargon just invented   I didn’t know either until I started hanging around cool geeky web designers!  UX is an acronym for “user experience”, and UI is “user interface” and both have a huge impact on how learners process the applications in front of them, and hence how well they learn.  Changes that are very subtle can actually have a HUGE impact… So, today, I’d love your input on the spice that we’re thinking of changing in the UI on English Addicts.  Please click (…)

My 100th blog post, and a big merci to YOU!!!

  As this is my 100th blog post, I can’t think of anyway better of celebrating it than by THANKING YOU !!! In the past year we’ve gone on quite a few journées; I just checked and we’ve totalled up 2039 comments while dancing all over etymology, teaching English, supreme language geekness, Edulang’s efforts, and a fair amount of fun in between.  I’ve discovered so much about teaching from our online ELT community, just as I feel I’ve learned so much about myself AND again…   I HAVE YOU TO THANK FOR THAT, DEAR READER!!! wherever you are   I (…)
