31/10/2025 ANNOUNCEMENTS

Revisions Ongoing

​Revisions are now in full swing.
Please combine all your Quizlet sets from September onwards into one master set — name it accordingly.

Bank Holiday — 11th November

There will be no classes on 11 November (Tuesday) due to the bank holiday. If your class falls on that date, please book another slot that suits you — this helps keep the schedule ship-shape and fair for everyone.
And just a gentle reminder:
If you’re planning to be absent, please fill in the online absence form, even if you’ve already told me during class. It’s linked to my booking system and makes planning (and giving your slot to someone else) much easier. Don’t wait until the last moment — someone else can often benefit from that free slot. Thank you for being considerate.

Upcoming: Video Recordings

Once revisions are done, we’ll return to video recording tasks.
This time, you’ll record via Zoom (using the recording function) or WhatsApp — both are acceptable.
There’s no automatic link on your page this year, so you’ll manage it manually. Recordings should be around one minute — not 42 seconds and not two minutes 😉.

Behind the Scenes — A Brief Dispatch

I’ve joined Peterson Academy for a year-long programme packed with high-calibre lectures on humanities, business, and the psychology — a challenge I’m genuinely excited about.
I’m also finalising a collaboration with an academic institution to deliver communication training for their researchers — a project that could link real-world communication training with academic insight.

A tiny professional favour: as you are my living portfolio — the most authentic evidence of what I build here — I’d be grateful for giving me your short recommendation on LinkedIn. Thank you to everyone who’s already done so — it really helps! 

Bits and Bobs

On a more serious note, I’ve recently posted a short piece about the 5 Why Method — a fascinating tool for digging deeper into motives and meanings, partly inspired by one of my latest lectures. I’d love to explore it with some of you in class and show how it can be applied in practice.

A small thing to brighten your day — there’s a new accent video inspired by one of my recent class discussions, and…🐾Abby’s YouTube debut.
