Voices From the Desert Vol. 02, N.° 02

In this journal we present fourteen poems produced by the inspiration of English language teachers of secondary education in Tacna region as a result of a creative writing contest called SPRING 2022 IS HERE. The contest aimed to develop professionalism and teaching identity by encouraging creative writing practices in the context of face-to-face education.

Online journal presentation via Tacna English Language Teachers’ Network:  https://www.facebook.com/1470835672/videos/1023270535338790/

For this edition, we present the following entry as a call for articles:

Spring once again fills us with light and hope on its arrival in Tacna, removing the cold winter humidity. In the middle of the year, public school teachers feel overloaded and overwhelmed by dealing with academic, social and family issues, which causes us emotional exhaustion. This is how we raised the issue of emotional care through recreational activities. Get inspired by these questions. How do you feel? What strategies do you use to regulate your emotions? What makes you feel happy?
Keywords: hobbies, free time, relax, take it easy, quality of life.
