  1. Used an episode from the BBC Grammar Challenge with a class today - needed a bit of adaptation but good for a change. http://bit.ly/8eISjI
  2. Had a no-show from an online student tonight. Confusion between "Tuesday" and "Thursday" - one of the occupational hazards.
  3. Useful post on helping learners to set language-learning goals. http://bit.ly/1yIg6l
  4. Café des langues starting at 10.00 at Le Bon Pasteur, Nantes. Come and practice your English if you're in the neighbourhood.
  5. RT @hollysuel: Core vocabulary sheets for ESP http://bit.ly/3N3jxO
  6. Language café at the Bon Pasteur in Nantes cancelled tomorrow (31/10) - disappointing, but next meeting will be 14/10 so see you then.
  7. Reading Bioavailability: How to Get More Nutrients from Your Food | Wise Bread http://bit.ly/16Ar6w
  8. RT @dudeneyge: Everything we write in online fora, blogs, groups, twitter, etc. may remain for years & years and be searchable. Sobering.
  9. @rliberni Very true, but should schools be plugging the gap? So much pressure on schools to be more than they were designed for.
  10. @rliberni Do they have to take place in the context of school? Why not in wider community for broader socialisation & family involvement.
  11. @rliberni No stats but my hunch is that more class time/academics saturates children and prevents consolidation of learning. More is less.
  12. @rliberni As a parent I favour less school time, not more. More school time = babysitting.
  13. Some advice for Sarkozy on language policy http://bit.ly/IvYki
  14. http://bit.ly/O5ByU Sarkozy wants to improve language learning in France. Lots of hand-wringing, but still think anglophone nations worse.
  15. Six famous school report comments http://bit.ly/4sLr0T
  16. Powerpointing Me -EFL Tech Tip #13 http://bit.ly/5Y7pc A useful twist on a tried and true first class activity from Karen.
  17. @Quentin2Mollien @eliohoho Thanks for the pub. Next English cafe this Saturday 10am at Le Bon Pasteur. http://j.mp/M2G4t
  18. Virtual Conference on language learning with technology, call for submissions http://tinyurl.com/ydp2ob4 - pls retweet. (via @heikephilp)
  19. Back from my 3 weeks of Twitter fast while I was in New Zealand. So, what have I missed?
  20. Today's memorable experience: good old grammar auction - the sillier the better. Works every time.
