ELTMentor News

Here is our weekly run-down of what’s been happening during the last week.

Cintia Stella has joined the ELTMentor forum. Welcome Cintia. Cintia has put a short bio on the forum.

Please don’t forget to introduce yourselves in the forum. We’d like to hear your teaching stories and you can ask questions, post topics or successes there.

Our second teleseminar was held on Monday and I am editing the footage and will make both of them available soon (I’m still trying to get them into the cloud – this is a new space for me). The presentation was an expansion of a Pech-Kucha I did a few years ago. Here is the original to be getting on with. I had some lovely comments about the session from Cintia and Marcia – thank you 🙂

I am really looking forward to our Webinar on Monday(June 27th) – with Shelly Terrell. She’ll be talking about blogging and online professional development. It will be in WIZIQ at 12.00 London time. I also wanted to try and have a twitter chat just for us as I know some of you find eltchat a bit too fast – maybe a gentler test chat might be useful. Let me know what you think. We could just try 30 minutes.

I’ll send out invitations for Shelly’s webinar at the end of the week.

Marcia is presenting at the RSCON conference at the end of July and has asked if she can have a practice session with us. I think this is a great idea and exactly what ELTMentor is all about. We can use WIZIQ and we just need to find a suitable time and day. Marcia can you suggest some. Post details on the forum as a new topic and we can all add our comments.

This video on language acquisition by Steven Krashen was posted on twitter by Jason West. I thought it was quite interesting. What do you think?

Please don’t forget the forum.

Looking forward to seeing you on Monday.
