This is a summary of the 1200 PM BST #ELTchat held on May 5, 2013. The topic of the chat was inspired by two IATEFL sessions\u00a0The ELTJ Debate<\/a>\u00a0(a debate about whether coursebooks reflect students\u2019 lives and needs with Scott Thornbury vs Catherine Walters) and\u00a0The decline and fall of coursebooks\u00a0<\/a>(a talk by Simon Greenall).<\/p>\n

You can also read\u00a0Scott\u00a0<\/a>and\u00a0Catherine<\/a>\u2018s follow up blog posts.<\/p>\n

What better way to summarize a great rambling chat like this than with a rambling infographic. The summary can also be downloaded as a\u00a0PDF\u00a0<\/a>in case you need to copy any text.<\/p>\n
