“We cannot hold a torch to light another’s path without brightening our own.”
Ben Sweetland

You may be wondering the reason of being of this post.

Ben Sweetland metaphorically describes our profession. Being a teacher is like being someone who helps people to grow up. We do not transmit knowledge but take people with us and share our knowledge with them, so that they can take what they need to grow.

When we teach, we learn. It is impossible not to do so, as Ben Sweetlan says, it is impossible to light another’s path without lighting our own path.

As we know, one of the objectives of the organisation is to promote and create situations in which English teachers can learn a lot while they share their own experiences and knowledge.
