Please bear in mind that if you are proposing a topic you should try and join the chat if it is chosen (though time zones can make that difficult). Please also note that the chat moderators do monitor the voting. There have been recent cases of block voting which has skewed and manipulated the polls. In such cases the votes will be disqualified and results of poll will be announced on our blog.<\/p>\n

How to choose topics for #ELTchat Discussions<\/span><\/h1>\n

Since we started #ELTchat last September, 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 \u201chave done\u201d.<\/p>\n

Please, include topics which<\/span><\/h1>\n
    \n
  • have not been covered already in previous #ELTchats<\/li>\n
  • are relevant to ELT teachers and teaching foreign languages<\/li>\n
  • are not targeted attacks on individuals or institutions<\/li>\n
  • are simply and clearly expressed.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n

    The #ELTchat moderators reserve the right not to post comments or to include them in the poll if they do not follow the above guidelines.<\/p>\n

    Before you propose a topic, do please check the transcripts index on this blog or go to the #ELTchat wiki and click on the Transcripts or Summaries Links to see what has been covered so far.<\/p>\n

    If you see your topic but would still like to discuss a different aspect or set of issues, do submit it and we will consider including it again!<\/p>\n

    Please click on the title of the poll if the voting button is not displaying properly\u00a0<\/strong><\/span><\/h2>\n
