Dear ELT Professionals,
Find below some of the highlights and “buzz” in ELT from the past week.
My weekly reading tip is this article about how play is a powerful way to learn. Insightful and useful for teachers to think about how to enact this in their own classrooms. Too often, learning is seen as “heavy”, “hard”, “serious”. See my own article about this - Learning Is Messy.
