Next #ELTchat on Wednesday 11/1/2017 at 19:00 BST (and after one hour, slow and easy till the next day)
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”.

Hi! I’m new here, so I apologize in advance if the topic below has already been proposed or discussed. I’m not sure if I’ll be able to make it on the 11th, but I think a great topic would be “how to deal with reading tasks in an active and entertaining way”. I use different methods, but I’d love to hear new ideas from other experienced teachers. Thank you!
A relevant, practical topic I’d like to discuss is time management for teachers. How to find the right balance to ensure high-quality teaching while also finding time for your personal life and family.
#ELTwhiteboard is a hashtag for people to share pics of their classroom whiteboards. It’s a form of “unseen observation”. In what other ways can we use online tools to do this, easily sharing aspects of otherwise “unseen” lessons?
Hi,
Work-life balance and burn-out? Loosely connected to Giulia’S suggestion as I don’t think it’s *just* a matter of managing your time.
That’s it from me for now ^^
