ELT Buzz News Report

All The "buzz" in English language teaching.

Jun 26, 2023

Dear ELTers,

Here is this week’s report - our 200th! Wow, time flies, I remember like it was yesterday, starting this report - pushed on after one of my failed ventures in a similar direction. It’s amazing what you can do, if you just do a little each day. Thank you, dear subscribers for your continued support and pursuit in your own professional development as a teacher.

My tip this week, Surviving Conference Season As An Introvert. 5 great tips for those of us (like myself) challenged by being not so socially outgoing but still wanting to get the most from the conference experience.

Best, David
