In a current Electronic Village Online course that I am enroled on, the topic of resilience came up.  In fact, it was the main theme of Helen Waldron’s opening webinar, ‘How to develop better resilience’ on the ‘Business English for Better World’ moodle course.

Our homework for week one was to record a 5 minute video introducing ourselves, talk about resilience – giving examples – and comment on others’ videos. I didn’t have much luck uploading my screencast video to the Moodle site, so instead uploaded it to YouTube and set it to unlisted. It was then embedded by Julie K on Moodle.

My mental health survey was mentioned in the presentation, so I thought this would be an opportunity to not only talk about resilience but my current research into the mental health of English Language Teachers.

If you don’t know much about me, then here’s an introduction.
