Wondering what I do for @iatefltdsig.bsky.social on Developod? 🤔 Here’s a look behind the scenes of recent podcast episode with Laura Patsko 🤩

If you are looking for ways to bring more #LGBTQ representation into your #ELT classroom, I can’t recommend @peterjfullagar.co.uk’s resources enough. There are a number of free materials for a variety of levels on numerous topics to try, and further paid options.
Don’t miss out! 🏳️‍🌈

ELT shop - Peter J Fullagar Representation of marginalised groups CAN feature in ELT materials. I decided to call the series 'Existence' because that's what we do – we exist. We're not an issue and we are not a taboo.

Most importantly for inclusive materials: "Fullagar shows LGBTQIA+ identities existing, not as taboos or issues." #IAmNotATaboo

Visit Peter's website to download free inclusive resources or purchase Existence and other materials: peterjfullagar.co.uk/eltshop/

@peterjfullagar.co.uk #LGBTQIA #ELT

I reviewed "Existence" for IATEFL's Voices 304, p27
"Existence has lessons for a variety of needs and is ideal for any educator who wants to be more inclusive: its accessibility, relatability and community are a strong place to start – together."
