If you are proposing a topic, please make every effort to join the chat if your topic is chosen. You can find out information about how to follow an #ELTchat here. Please also note that the chat moderators do monitor the voting. Cases of block voting are followed up and, in such a case, the votes will be disqualified and results of poll will be announced on our blog. 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”.

    Oops, sorry. Though I did search the list before submission.No matches found. If you could recommend a chat summary where new ideas to get Ss to record vocabulary were mentioned, that would be great.Thanks.

  9. In truth there isn’t one totally dedicated to this topic aspect – happy to include in our poll then

  10. Maria Conca says:

    Thanks, Marisa. The idea came up to me when I read a few posts on vocabulary lists to teach vocabulary and I thought ‘there must be more that we can do to teach vocab than just compiling lists’. Two minutes later I had run out of ideas.I’m sure ELtchat will be chance to get more practical ideas on the topic!
