Working with #ESOL students is a true privilege. It's not just about grammar. It's about sharing pain and finding peace. This #RefugeeWeek, meet Sulaf who finds comfort in poetry. Step into the world of refugees through her book of poems we made at @coleggwent. Feel the longing.

✨A big day for ESOL in Wales! ✨ I vividly remember how #trauma took control of my life and my first encounter with trauma in the ESOL classroom. So proud of @acehubwales for driving forward the conversation on trauma-informed ESOL classrooms. 🔗Report shorturl.at/93QGm

A fantastic day at the Traumatic Stress Wales conference @StressWales Insightful, thought-provoking presentations and workshops. Inspiring conversations with people deeply passionate about #trauma. Great to see the collective drive to create a trauma-informed Wales

'Go Home Polish' I rarely read, but this book won my heart at the first sight. Two blocks in one cover - a photostory and collection of stories from the author's walk from Cardiff to Poland, asking people about #HOME Thank you, @iwanowski77, for sharing this treasure with me 📖

@samshep Your posts are always full of wisdom, Sam. Thank you for you are doing and for sharing it!

One for the "knowledge" debate: present tenses featured in the text we were reading last night in class, triggering a quick review of present simple, continuous and prefect. A student asked "why we do this grammar again? I study it already in Entry 3." I sighed. (1/3)

Such a lovely feeling to love what you do . Teaching #ESOL at @coleggwent while doing a PhD on ESOL and #trauma at @cardiffmet feels like two beautiful realities coming together to create a little heaven on Earth Happy Teachers' Day! May your work be rewarding and joyful!

So much wisdom in these words, @yusufciftci42 👏👏👏

Proud of my supervisor's nomination at @cardiffmet 🌟 I am who I am today because of him. He brought light and believed in me during my darkest days when I felt I was nothing. Not only passionate, knowledgeable, and supportive, but also truly inspiring! Thank you, @drgjroberts 🌟
