    A couple of ideas:
    What support do new teachers need in their first year and how can we provide it?
    What is the role of controlled practice exercises in the classroom? How can we make it more interesting?
    What is the best way to exploit authentic materials?
    Hope to make it to the next few chats 🙂

  2. Just checking, is my idea of an ELT-related new Year’s resolution still an option?

  3. Anthony Ash says:

    I love all of these suggestions and would happily discuss them all!

  4. What is the future of ELT published materials? Will wikis (and other relevant platforms) replace them completely? Will each teacher become a coursebook author?

  5. All is possible, Marjorie – I don’t see why not!!!! 😀

    Please suggest how to break this vicious cycle for newly certified CELTA teachers (or any for that matter)-

    No experience without job, no job without experience, no grip on grammar without job and experience. If you’re a native speaker, grammar can be a problem, if you’re non- native, well that’s a whole new level of problem.

  7. All good suggestions Sandy

  8. We’ve had a few #ELTchats on coursebooks but I guess they always interest teachers, especially new teachers so let’s go for your topic @Angelosbollas
