Check out the first episode of the English Teachers Association of Queensland podcast, Hoops of Steel.



"Booklets! ...stay with me". Melanie Ralph is a teacher who believes that keeping things simple is the key to creating a joyful classroom. Her innovative teaching resources help lighten the load for her colleagues. Mel's values-driven, pragmatic approach is great for students; and it can help teachers hold onto the joy and the point of learning in English.
