This is the summary of the #ELTchat on 31st of August 20111 12:00 P.M. BST<\/span><\/strong><\/em><\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Moderators for this chat were @Marisa_C, @barbsaka (who had trouble with Tweetdeck and whose attention\/attendance was therefore intermittent), and @esolcourses (guesting \u0096 much to the relief of @Marisa_C, in view of @barbsaka’s problems).<\/strong><\/em><\/span><\/p>\n

Introduction<\/h2>\n

 <\/p>\n

This was widely agreed to be a difficult topic. There were many interleaved themes, and repeated suggestions to get back on-topic or questions that suggested that maybe we needed to get back on topic. The trouble was that an understanding of those themes was a pre-requisite to dealing adequately with the topic, and we couldn’t deal with the topic until… So, there were more questions than answers. There was wide agreement with @OUPELTGlobal’s<\/p>\n

I like the idea that these chats help define a teacher’s role in the classroom \u0096 whatever the topic has been<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

…Ideally, goal-setting should be done in partnership with teachers and learners & not imposed by exams etc<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

This has turned turned out to be more ‘recorded higlights’ than ‘summary’!<\/p>\n

All these are interlinked in various ways, and many tweets could have fitted comfortably into two or more sections!<\/p>\n
