Comment on Myths, misunderstandings, misconceptions and more about ICT – Part 1 by Sarah

Funny how trends can change in a matter of years! As I read this article at present, the debate it seems, is still as plausible as when it was first published. But in the age of Twitter and Facebook, there is no doubt that ICT teaching in the foreign language classroom has prevailed. I agree that when a tool for learning becomes available, one should use it as a resource and not the final product. I wonder what the critics of ICT learning are saying now.

Thanks, Elek, for the nice review. Of course, I’m biased, but your summary is exact and informative.
Wonder how you came across the anomaly about ‘staple’… — hoping that it can be fixed soon!

Comment on On perception of noise in the classroom by Fred

Fred — Sat, 04 Sep 2010 05:52:17 +0000

Yes, and a teacher can tell the difference between good noise and not-so-good noise. There is noise in language 1 vs. noise in English, productive noise vs. mayhem noise.

But like Adam said, you responded in a good way to bad management.

Comment on A moral dilemma for ELT materials writers by Vicki Hollett

Oh how disturbing Elek.
Names can be fraught with difficulties for ELT writers in other ways as well. Just popping over to an internet site on French/German/Thai etc names and then picking one at random can sometimes result in some strange choices. First name choices tend to signal a date range. For example, Ethel or Agnes in British English could signal it’s owner is elderly.
