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”.

The popularity of the #TrumpELT hashtag makes me interested in discussing how we do/don’t deal with politics in our classrooms, especially during elections or other high-salience periods of time. If it feels vital, it can be tempting to “go there”. What’s your experience? How do you approach this? No mention, total avoidance? Controlled comment? Off-handed references? Or is your classroom political opinion-friendly?
Hi all,
Last week quite a few votes were cast for ‘Teaching communication’.Teaching the language and the way we actually use it to communicate is the hardest challenge-I find- especially for less experienced teachers.How about suggesting a related topic?I was thinking of ‘how to teach oral communication/conversation’
Just a thought
Thank you
Maybe ‘How can we develop students’ digital literacies?’ as a follow-up to last week.

Hi Maria, we have held several #ELTchats on the subject of speaking skills development but will try to include it as a conversational skills topic.
Thanks, Marisa!Sounds great.
