Dear Teachers,
Here is just a short highlight of the “buzz” this week in ELT. See below.
I’m recommendation this week is two-fold. 1. This TES article about “adaptive teaching”. Possible? 2. Check out the Eduverse Oct. newsletter. Nice article about “over-learning” and also, tooting my own horn, an interview with myself with many thoughts about professional development for teachers. Also, see this article outlining many CPD opportunities this fall.
Best,
David - ELT Buzzer-in-Chief
