Where would you like to see yourself 12 months from now, in terms of being a materials writer?

Over the past 15+ years, I've developed a fair amount of materials and lesson plans although of hugely varying quality.

Whilst I have a tendency to make new materials for each new course, and changing jobs has typically meant this has been a necessity, I'd really like to go through the stuff I have and turn a selection into something publishable.

Finding a focus will help to be selective and make the goal more concrete, then breaking it down into manageable steps will be the way to go.

This was a great question to ask us all at the end of the course, and I've been inspired and energised by reading everyone's answers plus the comments below them.

Wonderful to see so many wheels set in motion!! Thanks again for everything!!

One whole year..., I would like to imagine myself having developed a framework for professional Business English training materials which could be tailored for different contexts, and to have piloted and then refined my materials. Furthermore, I hope that this course will inspire all the materials that I will design in the future, for various different content courses. Especially, applying the knowledge of professional imagery, design, clarity of instructions, and copyright awareness that I have learned here, from this community. Thank-you.

Here's my game.

Here's my game. It's a simple spinner + cards game inspired by games like Snap/Old Maid. It's designed for Business English learners at B2 and highlights verbing collocations with parts of the body. If you're not familiar with verbing, these are nouns used as verbs.

Hi folks, for this week's task, I wanted to create a puzzling email, which the students need to try to understand and reply to, and then they create their own slightly ambiguous emails, and reply to each others.
I appreciate any comments, and wish you all the best in your future material writing endeavors.

This is my puzzle for week 4's assignment - a way for teaching som difficult vocabulary in a text we are going to read in class. I've spotted the difficult words through vocabkitchen.com and my knowledge of what grade 9 students in DK normally find difficult. It's based on translating those difficult words to danish.
