Ooh, it’s been a while since the last update and there’s big a couple of big changes in the Hub! First of all, our Thursday livestreams now happen on the YouTube channel 🤓 Here are our most recent events:
- Unlocking potential in the young adult classroom – with Fiona Mauchline
- ELT careers: what else is out there? – with Michelle Worgan and Jordan Putman
- Dyspraxia: a teacher’s perspective – with Matt Starr
- Elevate for Independent English Teachers – with Abigail Fulbrook
- Thus Spoke An English Teacher – with Bruno Albuquerque
I also updated the Hub’s virtual library – if there’s anything else you think is missing, add a comment and tag me on this post in the group.
And oodles of Wednesday Questions for you to catch up on:
There were some interesting questions from Hubsters too. Kimberly asked about virtual assistants, Izabela asked what we mean by ‘young learners’ and Patricia asked a great question about how much time we give learners to develop their skills. Elizabeth asked about ideas for an A1 reading lesson , Olia asked about accredited qualifications and Deepika shared a survey to do some market research for a group programme for multilingual teachers.
There was also an anonymous request for volunteer teachers 💗and Sarah Gaylard shared details of the group ELT Professionals for Palestine.
