Dear #ELTchat folk,<\/p>\n

Shall we come back or let go?\u00a0<\/span><\/h2>\n

We noticed how participation dropped in recent months and, coupled with us getting busier and busier, out of sheer disappointment, we decided to press the pause button.<\/p>\n

It’s taken us a while to recover and we are still not fully recovered but the COVID19 pandemic has shown us that now, more than ever, teacher folk need to talk to one another about our problems.<\/p>\n

But it was 10 glorious years for the development of hundreds of teachers – and ours as well, by ‘ours’ I mean us, the moderators.<\/p>\n

We \u00a0received so many gifts from #ELTchat, it’s difficult to list them all!<\/p>\n

Here are photos of the moderators who made #ELTchat happen for 10 years and who got us to the finals of an almost-won ELTons award… almost \ud83d\ude42<\/p>\n\n\t\t
