What would you like to talk about on October 3rd?

Saturday, September 29, 2012 7:51 | Filled in Polls, Propose a Topic

Please Vote



If you have an idea for a topic for Wednesday’s chat then leave it as a comment on the blog and we’ll include it in the poll once voting starts on Monday.

The top choice in the poll will be discussed at 21.00 BST and the 2nd choice at 12.00 BST.

Remember all times are BST (BST is GMT +1) . Each week we alternate top and second choice.

Please bear in mind that if you are proposing a topic you should try and join the chat if it is chosen (though time zones can make that difficult). Please also note that the chat moderators do monitor the voting. There have been recent cases of block voting which has skewed and manipulated the polls. In such cases the votes will be disqualified and results of poll will be announced on our blog.

How to choose topics for #ELTchat Discussions

Since we started #ELTchat in  September 2010, we have discussed a wide number of topics, but with many new members joining our conversations every week, it is very natural that we will get requests for topics which we “have done”.

Please, include topics which

  • have not been covered already in previous #ELTchats
  • are relevant to ELT teachers and teaching foreign languages
  • are not targeted attacks on individuals or institutions
  • are simply and clearly expressed.

The #ELTchat moderators reserve the right not to post comments or to include them in the poll if they do not follow the above guidelines.

Before you propose a topic, do please check the transcripts index on this blog or go to the #ELTchat wiki and click on the Transcripts or Summaries Links to see what has been covered so far.

If you see your topic but would still like to discuss a different aspect or set of issues, do submit it and we will consider including it again!

Our Summaries & Transcripts Index

Here you can find links to all the transcripts and summaries available

Click here to find it or look for it on the pages menu on the right hand side.

Read those great posts which we have collected and make sure you visit the pages of the bloggers who contributed them too!!!!

You can leave a response, or trackback from your own site.

    How can we teach our learners good oral presentation skills? (for general English, business English, academic English – anything!)

    [Trying again as this polled quite well last week and a couple of #ELTchat regulars encouraged me to it it up again :-) ]

    How much does learning a foreign language help a teacher teach?

    Can ‘mindfulness’ be used in ELT? Do we already use it with another name? How can it be used? written about this recently on my blog at: http://tinyurl.com/ccbo4jj

    The blog link posted in the poll is invalid – it is missing a ‘j’ at the end. Should be http://tinyurl.com/ccbo4jj
