We had an interesting Trainer Talking Time in the Hub where we chatted about changes we’d like to see in initial qualifications, although we went a little off-piste as well to discuss other aspect such as when TP starts and how the number of trainees on a course can affect the sort of support they receive. And we had a really interesting webinar from the team at iDialogue, a platform which encourages cross-cultural understanding through digital penpal schemes, virtual tours and other opportunities to interact with students from around the world.
In the last couple of Wednesday Questions, people have shared some interesting thoughts around exam prep classes and using graphic organisers. And questions from Hubsters about the most important turning point in ELT history, how students can use translation sites effectively (and if they should) and some chat around Trinity’s Teach English Online course. There were also videos shared by SpongeELT and Charlie’s Lessons – two great channels with lots of CPD resources.
