Content and Features
The blog covers a diverse range of topics for professional development, classroom practices and teacher education. All blog posts consist of text, graphs, tables or pictures to illustrate the blogger's views. The post I read is titled 'Stand Firm, Stay Firm?' in which the blogger expresses concerns about excessive enthusiasm "about constant, continuous, never-ending professional development, improvement, skill enhancement, upgrading, learning something new, and sharing" that has gripped the modern teacher at the expense of engaging in leisure and other mind-refreshing activities. This is an interesting discussion especially for us teachers. Personally, I believe in learning new ways of doing things every chance I get. What about you, do you think sometimes we have too much CPD in our profession? Let me know what you think in the comments section below.
Target Audience
Zhenya has a unique way of engaging her readers who in turn provide her feedback through an easy-to-access comments area. Her blog has a large audience centred on language teachers, teacher trainers and others concerned with language teaching in general. I strongly recommend her blog for ELT professionals wishing to share her insights.

There are many other bloggers in the ELT field that one can find very useful. Besides Zhenya, I have keenly followed Nik Peachey and Russell Stannard.
