Maybe you are taking part in an IATEFL conference? And maybe you don’t have “enough” time for everything? At least I don’t. 🙂

  Good guesses. I’m going to be in the plenary discussion at IATEFL Belfast in May talking about sustainability. It was another reason though that I write not enough. Any ideas @marcela-villan?

Hi again @eltsusta, I am guessing you are currently honing your video editing skills in some way. Is this correct? If so could you share which courses and/or software you use?

  Hi @rian-mcguinness, correct! I’m currently working on suggesting, not making, the edits to bring some really interesting British Council Zoom recordings for a project called ‘Greening Algeria’s Campuses. It’s really interesting listening to these Algerian and British experts talking about how to make universities greener. I’m not at the level of…Read More

    @rian-mcguinness I take it that this is something you are getting into or thinking of starting. I think it’s one of these perenially useful skills to learn. What has got you into this?

      Hi Owain. Actually, I haven’t done a lot, but I did do some videos using PowerPoint during the pandemic. Did you notice how much PowerPoint evolved during that time? Anyway, it was fun and I wanted to learn more about making and editing actual videos and a colleague recommended this:…Read More

        @rian-mcguinness indeed I did notice, I’ve become a real fan of using PowerPoint. Two things I really appreciate are the fact that you get free stock images to embed with the new PowerPoint and also the fact that you get AI-driven formatting. I’ve really pushed it where I work to get away from ‘wonky’ flipcharts done on the old IWB software.

        Also @rian-mcguinness you mentioned using PowerPoint-like video software? How does that work? is it using morphing transitions and 3D objects?

Hi Owain, in what way are you associated with IATEFL?

  Hi Tugce, a good question. Yesterday I applied to be a volunteer for the IATEFL Gisig website. Wish me luck :-). I also was a panelist on the closing plenary at IATEFL Belfast in May. Are you involved with IATEFL too?

    How great! I don’t know how I missed IATEFL Belfast this year! in many, many ways, that’d be a great experience – I am missing good old conference hall, having a drink (errrrr… not from plastic cups, I swear! I always carry my mug with me LOL!) during breaks chatting with new people there! And i wish you the very best of luck in your new project…Read More

      It was my first time at IATEFL and I really enjoyed it, and I too enjoyed a drink or too (of the Irish-served-in-a-pintglass variety). Maybe you could get involved with the IATEFL Global Issues special interest group. What about BALEAP? Being new to EAP I am wondering about it and whether there is anything good happening there.

        I bet you did enjoy it – after years of online webinars! 🙂 Looking forward to becoming a BALEAP member again (once I was). It is something I am doing non-stop at the background (summer pre-sessionals/ part time in-sessionals etc). I don’t think I am good enough for IATEFL Global Issues SIG lol. 😉

Hi! I didn’t comment your great lesson! First of all, I like the literary text, the elegy, the walnut trees… Such an inspiring elegy! I am thrilled how you approached the text and applied it to your students. It is amazing how can a text/a poem remind us of some pictures from nature, pictures around us, as you were reminded of the pictures of…Read More

It’s a great lesson, and very demanding, but I like the final “product” – the sustainable house. Such a great idea! They can use the knowledge they gained in this lesson and then make something so creative. I like the CLIL teaching method. Milica’s lessons are really inspiring. I am thinking how to use it one day…….
