EFL Bliss - in lieu of a blog

This might have been a blog, but a blog demands something more frequent, and you end up with that horrible feeling of being slapped by the calendar because you haven't written anything for so long. But why write unless you really have something to say? (You will gather that we are not good at chatting, even less at tweeting.)

From time to time, though, we do actually write pieces that (usually) have a connection with EFL and the business of teaching English as a foreign language. Here is a selection of what has been saved (presented in chronological order - like a blog - with the most recent first, but without dates).

About Fullspate: - Fullspate is actually one man with a PhD and a laptop who grew tired of the bland contents of EFL coursebooks, decided to write slightly more engaging stuff for his English students, and then thought it might be nice to share them online.

Just to set the record straight, the guy in question is also the author of ECPE Challenge - a kick-ass C1 coursebook that doesn't contain too many mistakes. The last we heard, the powers-that-be had decided to stop printing it. If you have gone to the shops and have been told it is no longer available, please let us know.
