Dear ELT Professionals,
Some highlighted “buzz” from this week in English language teaching.
My tip this week is a recent research article looking at how video can affect learning outcomes. Lots to think about in this.

This Week’s ELT "Buzz“
Rhythm And Rhyme - ELT Berlin Journal looks at how teachers can use rhythm and rhyme in class to help students learn and master the vocabulary they need.
On Mediation - The Adaptive Learning blog looks at the topic of "mediation" and how it is discussed and used in linguistic circles, appearing as much more complex than it really is.
CELTA Review - Handy English writes up a report about taking the CELTA after 10 years of teaching. The good, the bad and other things.
School Closings - EL Gazette reports on the 100 centers that have been removed from the British Council accreditation list. Most because they closed permanently during the pandemic.
Summarizing - Some thoughts and activities that use summarizing to full effect in the language classroom.
Young Learner Talk - The TEFL Training Institute talks with Matt Courtois and they discuss what makes quality teacher talk. How should young learner teachers give instructions? How much should teachers grade their language? And when should teachers say nothing at all?
Video Lessons - The Practice Queen
ELT Buzz Video Lessons has many video lessons using Great Big Story videos. This one is about a lady who stands in as a “practice queen”. Perfect material for a lesson about the queen and discussion about royalty.
