Hi, my name is Nick Jaworski and I’m an English Teacher/Teacher Trainer residing in Istanbul, Turkey.  I’ve taught here for over three years at this point (Jan. 2010) and decided to start my own blog.  Having traveled the country extensively and lived in Ankara, Izmit, and Istanbul, I hope to provide some insights into working in Turkey, especially for those who are considering Turkey as their next destination.  I’ve devoted a page to finding a job and working in Turkey.

This blog was started with the intention of creating a site specifically for teachers and students in Turkey.  While that remains one of the main focuses, the international readership of this blog has also led to the inclusion of more general issues and ideas within the field of ELT as well.

My main goal is to provide teachers with a lot of practical and applicable ideas for their classrooms.  By sharing my ideas and lesson plans I hope to help out teachers in the classroom and encourage other teachers to share their ideas as well.

I invite all educators working in Turkey or abroad to join me on this little venture.  Your comments and feedback will be much appreciated.
