Teaching English in the corporate World #ELTchat summary<\/h2>\n

I started attending the #ELTchat\u00a0on tiwtter (Wednesdays 12.00\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0or 21.00 GMT)\u00a0after my tutor, Marisa Constantinides, suggested it. It is an hour well spent on Wednesdays, so when I was asked to write the summary of this Wednesday’s chat, I gladly said, ” sure!” So, here goes!<\/em><\/p>\n<\/div>\n

    Managers don’t want to attend classes with their\u00a0underlings<\/em>(@OUPELTGlobal).Bosses and secretaries having sessions together, especially when the secretary’s English may be better than the boss’s, may not be such a great idea.<\/div>\n<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n
