ELT Buzz News Report

All The Buzz In English Language Teaching. April 16th.

Apr 16, 2023

Dear ELTers,

The “buzz” from this week in ELT.

My suggested reading this week is some old and some new. The “buzz” about ChatGPT gives reason to review this article from during the pandemic about “fast language” industry. Might generative AI also be about this? New - check out this very interesting teacher’s results from stopping grading and taking attendance. Food for thought.
