The ELT Buzz Digest
All the "buzz" in English language teaching for Aug. 18th
Dear Teachers,
Find herein, this week’s digest. Lots of interesting articles, the best curated for you.
My own reading tip this week is an article about Andrej Karpathy’s pivot from OpenAI co-founder into ed-tech. His story echoes mine and the article reveals the same frustrations I felt working in ed-tech and the companies not really understanding that students don’t learn if they study online, stuff they aren’t truly interested in, motivated to consume. Yet ed-tech companies keep putting out dull, repetitive pap. Also, those in academia and research might like this eye-opening article about how 2 academic publishers are selling your stuff to AI firms.
