The ELT Buzz Digest - September 16th
All the "buzz" in English language teaching this week.
Dear Teachers,
More “buzz” in ELT and education this week. Read, watch below!
This past week, everyone was consumed with the Charlie Kirk assassination. I laid into it here, my take as an educator. But I do hope whatever your views, we all take home the message that we don’t want “hate” to become a part of our schools, our way of addressing each other and a default button for social media and professional discourse. Enjoy the readings this week and keep hope (not hate), alive.
Best,
David - ELT-Buzzer-In-Chief
