  • Twitter for English Language Learners (and Teachers)

    At CATESOL this past weekend, @blythe_musteric gave a great presentation about how teachers could use Twitter. Later, there was the very first CATESOL tweetup (a meeting of Twitter-users, often at an event), featuring @blythe_musteric, @pearsonlongman, @rogerdupuy, @joemcveigh, @leejeylee, @compellingtalks, @ohsanderella, @talkclouds (me), and possibly other people I’m forgetting. During @blythe_musteric’s session and later during the…

If you aren’t familiar with the area, it looks like there’s nothing nearby–just corporate offices for Yahoo!, Namco…

  • Get Together with International Conferences and Groups

    Dear Korean teachers, Japanese teachers, Thai teachers, etc., Do you remember how much fun you had when you were a MATESOL or PhD student in the US going to your local conference, or in the UK or Australia, or going to the international TESOL conference?

And sure enough, I heard on the radio that there’s a…
