E-Teacher Courses 2013-2014

Here is the list of 2013-2014 year e-teacher courses...

NATE

The first NATE Conference Online Experience and Contest was conducted on the ELT-Russia Ning. Kudos to the initiator and manager of this Contest - Toni Hull, Senior EFL fellow in Moscow!

The contest was based on 3 blog entries, posted over a period of about a week. nbsp; Each post included highlights from plenaries and workshops on all 3 days of the conference, with both written and video material. nbsp; In the lead up to the Online Conference Experience and throughout the contest, the Ning thanked the sponsors of the contest prizes.

In the end 16 people had their names chosen in the random drawing, and ten of them have won the books selected for the contest (prizes nbsp;included nbsp; Cambridge University Press books, 3 books from Pearson Education, and, for 3 winners, an annual membership to TESOL International). nbsp; The Main Page of the Ning currently shows a list of the winners with their prizes.

The following comments from participants show that nbsp;the project was well received and the contest much appreciated.

�Thank you much for having organised such an awareness-raising contest for teachers. I really appreciate being among the winners.� nbsp;
nbsp;
�Thank you very much for the opportunity to participate in the NATE conference, albeit virtually. Watching the videos and presentations made palpable the energy and positively charged intellectual atmosphere of the conference. nbsp; I wanted my colleagues to share this experience and distributed the materials. Everybody is nothing but enthusiastic and appreciative of the work you have done. nbsp; We are looking forward to the upcoming conferences and hope to participate next time around.�
nbsp;
�Thanks a lot for the good news that I�m a winner. Thank you for an exciting opportunity to dive into NATE conference activities even online. Sure, it's worth doing again next year.�

Umbrella Newsletter # 55

Ross Dawson�s research (a best-selling author who is �globally recognized as a leading futurist, entrepreneur, and strategy advisor� shows that �we are moving closer to four degrees of separation from anyone in the world� and the major player in this process is social networking. We have accumulated �a plethora of channels to communicate with people,� we even make �friends� with people we never met and our diversity of connections depends only on our interests�

Please let ELO know your thoughts: is the Umbrella Newsletter still a valuable resource for you, or do you feel that you have enough information readily available that it no longer is of great interest?

TESL- EJ

Call for Papers - Special Issue, November 2013

TESL-EJ - (Teaching English as a Second or Foreign Language)
Classrooms in Context

The November 2013 issue will be devoted to classroom research conducted in a variety of contexts worldwide. We are especially interested in classroom contexts that may receive less coverage than others. For instance, that research done with small groups, or in non-traditional or less-reported-on classroom settings. We are interested in providing a venue for research on EFL/ESL teaching done in situations that may not be well represented in the research literature. With English still being one of the most taught second languages in the world, it is certain there are many formal and informal classroom settings that remain unaccounted for, and that have an effect on the learning on the classroom participants.
All submissions will go through the regular review process.
Deadline for submission at our submissions site (http://teslejsubmissions.org/teslej/): nbsp; May 1, 2013
Please note on your submissions information that it is for consideration in the special issue.

Maggie Sokolik, Editor, TESL-EJ
