How will #Brexit affect the ELT industry? #ELTchat Summary 29/06/2016

#ELtchat now – How will the Uk’s departure from the EU affect the EFL industry?
-
Hi Marisa. I’m not directly concerned but sympathise with those who are. #ELTchat
-
@GlenysHanson Hello Glenys – many of us though will be and we don’t yet quite know how #ELTchat
-
@GlenysHanson No idea yet #eltchat – may be more people will stop going to the UK for TEFL courses because of the visas but not easy to tell
-
@Marisa_C I found Michael Dougan of Liv Uni on the EU. https://youtu.be/USTypBKEd8Y https://twitter.com/eannegrenoble/status/747942574992859136 … … very useful #ELTchat
-
I think tho that whatever change affects it will be slow motion – I don’t see anything drastic happening anhy time soon #ELTchat
-
@GlenysHanson and Cameron very slyly left that to his successor – we’ll see #ELTchat
-
@GlenysHanson which is why in Greece we joked – “Cameron, ask Tsipras how he did it” 😀 #ELTchat But that was a force majeur from the EU

-
@Marisa_C @ambartosik @TESLOntario So could I. Do you think we could fool people as well politicians do? #ELTchat
-
@ambartosik Did you read @DiLeed ‘s post? Let me find it – not pretty! #eltchat and some of the hate episodes on buses etc

HEre it is http://bit.ly/28Z1GCC #eltchat
-
@GlenysHanson Same everywhere – poor low education groups tend to form such views #eltchat
-
@Marisa_C There was this perspective in our local paper. We should be wary of our smugness due to location https://www.thestar.com/news/queenspark/2016/06/28/canada-shouldnt-be-smug-looking-at-anti-migrant-sentiment-of-brexit-cohn.html?utm_source=twitterfeed&utm_medium=twitter … #ELTchat
-
In Greece, for years, the target group was the Albanians, poor people who were exploited #eltchat
-
@GlenysHanson we said almost the same thing #eltchat 🙁
-
I think most colleagues feel a little bit lost and helpless and unable to predict quite what will happen #eltchat
-
Racism is part of all of us. As a child I believed not only people in next village were inferior but that they smelt bad too. #ELTchat
-
To go forward we have to understand the dark side of ourselves and others. To go beyond the “them” and “us” mindset. #ELTchat
-
My parents did not think that way – it was entirely invented by the village children. #ELTchat
-
@ambartosik I think the result was a blow and a wake up call for many #eltchat I am not sure how learners will interpret it #ELTchat
-
@ambartosik It’s true we are privileged so less likely adopt simplistic solutions such as racism. But Brexit not only about racism. #ELTchat
-
@GlenysHanson Understood. But it may fan the flames of discontent & cause unexpected financial ramifications in ELT field #ELTchat
-
Someone just tweeted the results of disrespecting that referendum #eltchat and succumbing to all EU demands https://twitter.com/teacherdude/status/748225686658252800 …
-
@ambartosik @GlenysHanson I think a lot of jobs will be lost – cannot predict the hit to regular jobs but summer work for sure #ELTchat
-
Do you think making it more difficult for NST to get work in EU will mean it’s easier for NNST? #ELTchat
-
@GlenysHanson It may affect no of jobs available but it all depends on post #brexit agreements and negotiations #eltchat
-
One of the reasons I left the UK nearly 50 years ago was the dreadful food. It may be coming back. http://www.newyorker.com/culture/culture-desk/what-brexit-means-for-british-food?mbid=social_twitter …#ELTchat

@GlenysHanson I love Bee Wilson. I also loved this image http://www.eater.com/2016/6/24/12023732/brexit-uk-food-restaurants … #ELTchat

Found Diarmuid’s blog post on #brexit http://bit.ly/29bhNRx #Eltchat it’s not specific to teachers but interesting to read
-
@Marisa_C @teacherdude: “It’s back to potato, cabbage lard and mutton, lads” Apparently #Brexit = blockade of UK food imports. #ELTchat
-
@teacherdude @ambartosik @GlenysHanson Well, Greek cuisine esp up in Thessaloniki yum yum makes up for that month!!! #ELTchat
-
@ambartosik @Marisa_C @ambartosik When I worked in Poland about 1990 the food was fab – including in the canteen – fruit soup Mmmm! #ELTchat
-
@dianatremayne Lots of schools closing down – falling numbers of Ss – parents cannot pay – jobs lost #ELTchat
-
School owners paying 4 or 5 euros an hour, untrained staff – more loss of course #eltchat
-
My talk “Is your school future ready?” How can it be when Ts are paid less than my cleaner? #ELTchat
-
It seems like free movement of workers likely to be kept in any new trade deal, so UK workers in EU could be OK #eltchat
-
Will Brexit make it more difficult for ELT publishers to be based in the UK? Other industries have spoken about moving to Europe. #ELTchat
