=The future of ELT teaching=


 * Action Plan: ** ** PREPARING TEACHERS OF TOMORROW: ROLE OF E-GROWTH  **

Finalize data analysis

 * 1) End of March more data will be collected from the 3rd year students (Elmas) AND also from the 2nd year students (Fatos). We need to do an equal job distribution for data analysis. Below you can see just a suggestion:
 * 2) Erkan: analysis of data collected from 1st year EMU students
 * 3) Elmas and Fatos: analysis of data collected from 2nd year, 3rd year and 4th year EMU students
 * 4) Steve: analysis of data collected from 3rd year (and ??) METU students (Wouldn't it be better to collate all the data together, rather than analyze each separately?)
 * 5) This Friday we will get together with Fatos to discuss how we should be doing the data analysis. We will be sharing our views with you on our FuturELTeachers site and ask for your comments, suggestions etc.
 * 6) Once we have the analyzed data in hand, I think it’s dead easy to prepare a powerpoint presentation for the conference.

Appropriate journal

 * 1) Fatos suggested finding a journal that is ELT oriented (use of technology in ELT) as it will be a novel or an up-to-date topic and as we are all ELT practitioners she thinks it will be more useful for promotion etc....She is going to have a look at some journals, Steve is it possible for you to have a look at this too? (I may be wrong about this, but if the proposal is accepted and we give the presentation at METU, it will be included in their conference proceedings. Is it kosher to try to publish essentially the same article in another journal? Or do we just decline the possibility of publishing it in the METU conference proceedings.)
 * 2) Once we decide on the journal we need to check the format and discuss how we will put the content together into that format. As we have some review of literature in hand (Erkan’s project, my thesis and Fatos’), I am just hoping that it won’t be very difficult to put things together. Of course we’ll need to update ourselves a little bit and I have full trust in Steve on that issue. I am sure he will be bombarding us with latest news anyway!

Here is Steve's [|YouTube channel]. Some interesting EFL videos there about methods, as well as the [|Oregon ELT series].

Steve also embedded an interview with Rod Bolitho from the BC Teaching English site thinking that we might be interested, enjoy ...
