@andyfirr.bsky.socialSome good news to kick off the weekend that a colleague and I look to have hopefully secured our first published piece together. It’s really beneficial being able to bring ideas together from both the UK and the US.
@andyfirr.bsky.socialNew book chapter (hopefully) on the way. Pleased to have abstract proposal accepted for Springer Nature volume- AI, Interculturality and Language in Teacher Education.
Time to get writing…

@andyfirr.bsky.socialYes, probably unconventional but real and what I said was how it really happened.

@andyfirr.bsky.socialYes!! I got tickets, and a hotel on the outskirts of Manchester. In other news, my car, house and any semi working bodily organs are also now for sale! Will it be worth it? Absolutely.

@andyfirr.bsky.socialIt’s always a nice little confidence boost when my students can come away from our class with a modest certification. Hopefully it inspires them to think about the more advanced belts as they develop their skills.
