Who: YL teacher and trainer (Portugal), APPI presenter, OUP webinar and resource author. Now at Enriching ELT / EELT Academy (new blog).
What: Practical YL activity write-ups: songs, chants, mini-books, the silent period, PBL, classroom instructions. Many handouts are PDFs (not processed).
Stance: Input-rich, meaning-first, rhythm-driven. Language arrives in chunks via songs, chants, stories and actions; she respects the silent period. Theory is light, so read the claims as practitioner experience.
Processed notes
- Chants train stress-timed rhythm
- Mini-books as tactile literacy
- Project-based learning needs language input at every stage
- Songs carry chunks and phonology
- The silent period and listen-and-do
