Don’t forget your free gift at
is an updated revision of The Little EFL Book.
I have included more information on how to teach literacy as an EFL teacher.
The price has also been dropped a little (for a while).

This book makes EFL teaching fun again.
I hope you enjoy the book.

Yesterday I uploaded a small video clip of myself demonstrating how to do Dialogue Streaming. Dialogue Streaming can be used to teach ‘sounds’, ‘words’ and sentence patterns. In other words, EVERYTHING an EFL teach needs to teach.
It is my gift to you. Use it and share it with other EFL teachers.
What an absolute hoot!! I have just staggered home from a morning of soccer with the kids from the English school.
I didn’t think it was necessary for Sen to do this activity. How wrong could I be? It turned out that this was just what the school, Sen and I really needed. We had soooo much fun :)).
Sen booked a small soccer field for an hour. It was a first class facility within walking distance of the school.
We turned up to the miniature field a bit too early, so Tina, Thu and I went and explored a nearby abandoned French army barracks building. We took some pictures, decided it was haunted and barely escaped with our lives!!
Maybe I will let the photos do to the talking.

The girls were quite reluctant to play until I showed them how to ‘shoulder’ the boys out of the way!

There are very FEW public spaces for Vietnamese kids to play. No wonder they appreciated the activity as much as they did!
So the next time your students say “Teacher! teacher! Game please?”, may I suggest soccer.
This blog is about how I do EFL teaching and the whole EFL teaching experience.
I’ve been teaching nearly 25 years now. I live in beautiful Vung Tau, Viet Nam. You will get to know alot about this part of the world, and the people who live here, via this blog.
Come back often and keep up to date with the happenings at Sen’s School. You’ll love it.
