The ELT Buzz Digest
All the "buzz" in English language teaching. July 21.
Dear Subscribers,
Please find this week’s report below!
It’s been a busy week on the news front. Lots of good reading, references and links in that below. Philip Kerr is back blogging and he’s telling us despite all the shell shifter, higher ups telling us so much has changed in teaching - little has changed. It’s the same with technology - always going to revolutionize this, empower that - no evidence it has done anything to better student outcomes. Lastly, tooting my own horn - this speech I made into a video that you might use in an adv. class … How To Spot The Idiot In The Room. It’s a must watch, something to think about.
