The Carnival of English Language Teaching

As a teacher, you’re promoting something. Sure you are. Perhaps it’s a technique (like role-playing), a methodology (like the Communicative Approach) or even an institutional agenda. Like it or not, we’re all promoting, actively or passively, a set of values.

Deivis Pothin promotes tolerance and believes that others should do so as well.

AJ promotes not pre-teaching vocabulary… and TPRS.

Flickr for low level students is one of AP Campbell’s causes. Kudos to AP for being willing to take a dose of his own medicine.

Advocating and facilitating peer-to-peer learning is the theme of the group blog Dekita.org. One of their lastest projects is to mentor young women from the Caucasus region.

(The CELT also wants to congratulate Dekita.org for winning the 2005 EduBlog Award for Best Group Blog.)

Teacher in Development, Aaron Nelson is “totally sold out on blogging for purposes of professional development”, which I confess is a pet project of mine.

Co-teachers in Taiwan’s EFL classrooms is a concern of the Taiwantroll, Ryan Klempner.

Finally, if you have curriculum for K-12 English that you’re happy to reccommend to others, then Bora’s mom would like to hear from you.
