Hello everyone. I am sorry that over two weeks have passed since my last message. My excuse must be that here at the British Council Rome we have been holding end-of-course tests which have taken up a lot of time to correct. But that's now over, so at last I can give you the answers to the last Six Minute English quiz that I posted at the very end of May. Here they are: 1. This week's official

Have been making my way through James Atherton's fascinating site on Teaching and Learning. Here are a few nuggets: Teacher-centred teaching works: So-called 'student-centred learning' is an oxymoron. It is about not trusting students to learn. It is a sophisticated manipulative game of getting them to jump through hoops of the faculty's devising. Some people manage to talk in the same breath

I see informal communication with others as being the biggest advantage of putting weblogs to use for language learning purposes. Weblogs can bring people together for sharing and discussing their ideas, allowing learners to actually put the language they are studying to use in authentic ways. However, when we assign 'blogging' for homework and give students grades on how often they post or

What is love? Some say it's a stranger, others say it's a drug, while others insist it's a verb and not a noun. Whether it's a battlefield, a many splendored thing, or a second hand emotion, we all experience it in different ways. Last night we held a Valentine Party at Learning Times to share our ideas of what love and romance is, to play some games, and to just have some plain Frivoulous

I've been thinking long and hard about the idea of incorporating blogging into teaching...loooong and hard. Here's my issue. I live in Switzerland, a place where being reserved is a national sport. Expression isn't looked upon as a good thing. Remember, I'm an expat from the American South, so I *may* be overgeneralizing here.:-) Most of my students are IT folks from the banking and insurance
