Dear Teachers,
Find below some highlighted ELT “buzz” from the last week.
This week, recommending this Mind Shift article outlining research showing that paper books seem to out perform digital books. Makes you think. This debate will continue, I believe.
P.S. - Please consider a “back to school” subscription to our lesson library. This week, any upgrade also includes access to ELT Buzz Video lesson materials. It helps with our costs.
Regards,
