I’ve been thinking for a while that a TEFL blog carnival on more campaigning topics such as teaching pay and conditions, crappy schools and the like would make a great change to “Teaching ideas for…”, so if anyone with actual Twitter and Facebook accounts fancies giving it a try I’ll see if I can’t get back in campaigning mood and add something. In the meantime, I’m planning to start a section of my blogroll on blogs and blog posts on things which are meant to change the industry rather than just the way that individual teachers choose to teach. Suggestions below please.
Here are a few that I’ve found so far:
Marker pens and kryptonite on Decentralised teaching and learning
Five questions about fair pay, respect and equal pay for TEFL teachers on Cooperativa de Serveis Linguistics de Barcelona
Angry Language Brigade on Libcom.org
TEFL Equity AdvocatesA Disabled Access Friendly World: ELT Lessons on TEFL Matters
Some older ones that I’d love to find active versions of:
and 11 of my own random ideas to change this industry of ours:
A great campaigning post by Nicola Prentis: ‘Who’s the Wolf in ELT?’ http://simpleenglishuk.wordpress.com/2014/05/01/whos-the-wolf-in-elt/
This one probably also counts:
