In truth, I’m at the moment engaged on a publication that I hope many English lecturers will discover helpful. It’s a collaborative challenge with a gaggle of fantastic ELT professionals, and I sit up for sharing extra particulars about it in a couple of months’ time.
Despite the fact that there have been few updates on the weblog, the web site nonetheless retains receiving new guests via engines like google. The issue is that issues change quick: hyperlinks cease working, movies get taken down, charges enhance, skilled growth programs are retired, and so on. How does one cope with that?
Since I understand how annoying it’s to search out inaccurate data on-line, I made a decision to undergo all 70 articles on the weblog as a way to replace them if wanted. Along with making some obligatory modifications when it comes to content material, I’ve corrected a couple of embarrassing errors. The spelling and grammar verify on Google Docs is a good instrument that finds extra points than Microsoft Phrase, and I want I had discovered about it earlier.
Should you’ve simply stumbled upon this web site, I invite you to discover it and skim a number of the older posts linked under. This weblog offers with quite a lot of each educating and non-teaching matters and I hope you discover some helpful data right here. There shouldn’t be any main inaccuracies within the articles, however when you spot something that must be up to date or modified, be at liberty to let me know.
