ETAI Newsletter 12: September 2008
Dear Readers,
Here's the first newsletter of the new academic year, and my first
newsletter as incoming Chair of ETAI!
To start with a personal message: my heartfelt thanks to Nava, the outgoing
Chair, for the amazing job she has done over the last year, and her
continuing support and encouragement!
Only a year ago Nava initiated the slogan: If you can't come to ETAI, ETAI
will come to you – a slogan we shall do our best to maintain this year, with
mini-conferences planned for various places around the country, as well as
the three major ones in the north, south and centre.
Details of the year's ETAI events are not yet available, but cyberspace is
already humming with emails between members involved with setting up the
year's conferences and mini-conferences, as well as the upcoming
International Conference in 2010.
So watch this space: I'll update you as to where and when our next events
will be!
And meanwhile, a nice bit of news:
I was invited a month or two ago by SEETA (the South-East European Teachers'
Associations), which is an online community of English teachers in our part
of the world, to be their first online guest speaker in a virtual
lecture-discussion running from Sept 14 – 21. I agreed, but requested that
ETAI be registered as a member of the community. Have just heard that we
have been accepted; so use the attached page to register and give me your
support in this online event! My topic: the use of L1 in English teaching.
Their website: http://community.britishcouncil.org/seeta/
And finally, to all our members and to all English teachers in the country:
good luck with the beginning of the school year! We at ETAI wish all of you
a happy, productive and fruitful year of teaching, learning and developing.
We hope you'll see your students advance in their knowledge of English and
progress in their own general education, and at the same time feel that you
yourselves are becoming better – more effective, more creative, and
happier – teachers!
I'll be in touch soon!
All the best,
Penny Ur
ETAI Chair
