The book “ A-Z of Hope ” has just been published . Would you tell us more about it and how teachers can order it ?
JP : A-Z of Hope Activities is a photocopiable resource book that consists of 26 activities that stimulate children ’ s imagination and bring joy to the classroom . The activities are a selection of games , quizzes and crosswords and are for use with all children around the world . The age range is from young learners to teenagers . All Heart ELT titles can be ordered from Keltic on the following link :

Finally , do you think that the quality of connection between ELT teachers is improving ?
JP : In many ways our profession is very competitive ; however , I think that the only way forward is for like-minded teachers to connect to work on collaborative projects . I have tried to forge relationships with other teachers and it is difficult but not impossible to create positive and productive partnerships . Many teachers are rather too focused on the immediate personal benefits of working with others . I would like to believe that 2017 will be the year of collaboration ; it makes sense for our own personal development as educators and it will help to play a significant part in creating good global citizens . Indeed it is the only way forward .
