The ELT Buzz Report

All the recent "buzz" in English language teaching

Mar 18, 2024

Dear Teachers,

Find our report for ELT below.

This week, recommending this opinion piece from The Chronicle about AI and critical thinking. Further to this subject, see the AI or Human? media literacy quiz I designed for our Lesson Library members. It’s free and really great for reviewing AI with students. I’ll be reviewing the topic of media literacy this week in additional articles.

Best,
David - ELT Buzzer-in-Chief
