I have really profited from the sharing of resources, web-sites and
references that others have shared on this listserve. I hope that this
tradition continues.

Subject: [EnglishLanguage 915] Suggestions for Discussion Topics for 2007

 

Dear subscribers,

 

I hope you had some time to relax over the holiday season.

 

As I wrote at the end of last year, I'm seeking your suggestions for some
targeted discussions for 2007.  

 

These might be weeks when

*	a guest facilitator or facilitators share information and answer
questions on a particular topic or issue, 
*	or it could be a week when some decide to read a certain article or
topic to discuss as a group, 
*	or there could be a week when subscribers share substantive reviews
of materials, textbooks, software, or Web sites they themselves have used, 
*	or other suggestions

This list (formerly known as NIFL-ESL) has been going since April 1995.
I've been part of the list since that time and I notice a generally cyclical
nature to the discussions. 

This makes sense to me because as less experienced teachers and
administrators join the list, they may have  questions similar to those some
others of us had  when we joined almost 12 years ago (e.g., What materials
are good? What instructional strategies really work? What are appropriate
ways to address cultural issues? How can my class or program meet the needs
of learners, funders, and other stakeholders? How can various technologies
assist adults learning English as a second language?) 

This list generally has between about 850 and 900 subscribers, so I hope
that some of you can offer suggestions for discussion topics and activities
that will serve your needs.  

I look forward to hearing your suggestions. 

Thanks and Happy New Year.
