Therapeutic Teaching - Anna Machura

15/01/2026

I am excited to share that my two-page article (pp. 55-56) titled 'Five Faces and One Mask. A Curious Case of Psychology in ELT' has just been published in the recent issue of MET Magazine (Jan/Feb 35.1; 2026).

In the article, I share various aspects of psychology in the classroom, including classroom psychodynamics, invisible barriers and mental fortitude, with many applicable insights.

Whether you work with Gen Z, Gen Alpha or other generations, you will find there some insightful points to consider and implement into your teaching practice.

I believe our main role as teachers is to enlighten and inspire, to empower and embolden all our students. In short, to help them become mentally stronger by increasing both their self-awareness and social perceptiveness in the process.

It may include recognising red flags, identifying gaps or obstacles, training their brains to respond better to the ever-changing circumstances and modern world demands.

Of course, there is more to explore together... 🧠 💡 Enjoy your reading!

💡Food for thought:

The future is now. Education 5.0 is shifting the focus and scope of almost every profession.

It is the time of transformation. The results will depend on how well you can manage change.

The paradox of the new era:

While acquiring new knowledge has become easier and faster, filtering out information (or cutting through the noise, if you wish) and anchoring yourself (finding stability) have been more taxing.

Main goal: Mental clarity.

During the Carnival last June, in my talk 'The Past, the Present and the Future: Teacher Mentoring Re-imagined, 'I shared my thoughts on and proposed recommendations to the key areas of the ever-evolving educational landscape, from a teacher mentor's perspective.

Below is a snippet of the presentation slides which, I believe, is quite relevant for educators at the start of the new year.

Throughout the years, I have presented a visionary leadership style, from a cross-sectional, interdisciplinary angle, with encouraged self-reflection. It has helped thousands of students and teachers to reach new heights. This is what I call the biggest success every year. Giving hope, inspiration and encouragement to others to overcome any mental, emotional, behavioural or social blocks.

Thank you very much for your presence, engagement, invitations, mentions, beautiful thank-you notes and messages with enquiries about the next sessions with me. 💖 😊

See you very soon on-line or in person. 🙌 🌍

2026 can be your best year yet!

Start today.
Discipline yourself.
Learn to accept uncertainty.
Evaluate the resources you have.
Make a plan based on your values.
Follow it. Act even when not feeling ready.
Think positive. Turn challenges into opportunities.

Eager to hear about your breakthrough moments from 2025.

Have a wonderful day!
Anna ✨

2025 was a very productive year, and 2026 will be no different.😊

In December, I had a pleasure to participate in a two-day Academic Conference in Dublin and give a presentation on an important topic of the complexities of social interactions.

Grateful for the invitation and the opportunity to meet like-minded, passionate educators at this magical, festive time ✨ 🎄
