The ELT Buzz Digest - September 8th
All the "buzz" in English language teaching this week
Dear Subscribers,
Another week, another bit of “buzz”.
This week, my recommended read is Peter Greene’s deep dive into the standardized tests and how it affects education. While reading, I couldn’t stop thinking of all the parallels in English language teaching and its continual testing regiment - IELTS, TOEFL, PEARSON, DUOLINGO - you name it. Read and think of the cross over.
Regards,
David - ELT-Buzzer-In-Chief
