Hello again!
After a summer break, I'm back with a fabulous guest, Nicola Harwood, who breaks down TBL (Task-Based Learning).

Have you thought about using it but not sure where to start?This episode is perfect.

She talks about deep and shallow-end TBL. Yes, there are two types: one for the brave and one for the teacher who needs a little more structure.

Don't teach in her context? Take that mantra of mine and Steal and Adapt!

This short, passionate episode is a bit of a rant — but it comes from a place of deep care for students and the craft of teaching.

If you're a teacher and you recognize yourself in any of the points raised, this isn't meant to offend — it's a call to reflect and rethink some habits that might be holding your learners back.

If you're short on time, under pressure, or stuck in a routine — you're not alone. But that’s exactly why it's worth taking a moment to question, adjust, and improve. Teaching isn't about perfection; it's about intention.
