Dear Teachers,
Find just some of this week’s ELT Buzz below.
My article tip this week is a reading about metacognition and getting students to think about their thinking and learning. Some nice thoughts on this subject.
Readers might be interesting in our newly updated splash page for all our online prompt generators. A great tool for instant speaking (and writing) prompts! Plus, see our new page about our graded readers.
