The YouTube channel has been a side project, and there are only a handful of videos at the moment: one on online AWL highlighters (seems to be quite popular), another on note-taking styles. More will follow soon, eventually covering all areas of academic English. Subscribe to be notified of new additions.

Website updates
Meeting the January deadline of the first EAP Foundation book means there have not been many recent updates to the website. That will change over the coming months as various areas get updated and expanded. More in the next newsletter.
