I would like to join all those who have written in to the list to sing the praises of the conference last week. Kol haKavod to the conveners, the committee, the volunteers, and the boys in red from Himmelfarb, who all did so much to make the conference a success. Everything went smoothly. The presentations were excellent - it was sometimes hard to choose which sessions to go to. All in all, an international conference at an international standard. The only cloud on the horizon was the fact that out of the *thousands* of English teachers in the country, more teachers did not come to the conference. Why is that always the case? There is nothing like an ETAI conference - so much to learn, so many new ideas to try out with your classes after the vacations, ideas to share, old friends to see, and new friends to meet. I have never been to a conference without feeling inspired - and let's face it, who among us doesn't need a bit of inspiration now and then? Enjoy the summer.
