ELT Buzz Digest
All the "buzz" in English language teaching and education. August 10th.
Dear Subscribers,
Find this week’s digest below. Today’s tip is this Simon Borg article about research into online professional development - something I know a little about (see our large LinkedIn group). It is interesting to read about informal CPD although I think key here - and not addressed by the author, is that teachers don’t just comment but follow through in their own teaching with actionable changes. I speak more on this here »>
Also, a request. Please check out my Lesson Library. We’ll soon be starting the school year and we need subscribers to keep chugging along. We’ll be decreasing the free content, to benefit subscribers in the coming few weeks. Thanks!
Regards,
