It’s been a busy month and my apologies as I’m a little behind with writing up the notes from the webinars. We had a couple of great sessions in March, with Daniel Becker joining us to talk about mental health in ELT materials and Romina Muse coming back for a second webinar, this time on transmedia.
There have also been some great Wednesday Questions. Ahead of Daniel’s talk, we asked what signs tell you you’re overworked; we also asked about ELT buzzwords, volunteering in ELT and the aspects of our profession which are often over-simplified on pre-service qualifications.
Some other interesting questions from Hubsters came in as well: is your pron work proactive or reactive? How learner-centred is your teaching approach?
And Hubsters shared some great resources too. There were lesson plans from Silvina Mascitti on identity (with Peter J Fullagar) and business meetings as well as one from Bhavna Gupta on Earth Hour. Charlie’s lessons shared great guides to using Baamboozle in class and top tips for teaching young learners and Kelly Aslanidou shared a link to a webinar on using tech to teach pron. Silvina popped up again in one of SpongeELT chats about writing materials and Robert Stroud shared a link to his ELT newsletter The University Grapevine.
