208 ELTchat 2016-03-16T12:00:36 It's time for our weekly gathering - Who's around today, #ELTchat folks? Ready to talk Teacher Training for 21st Century Skills?
207 angelos_bollas 2016-03-16T12:01:55 Let's see who is around today for #eltchat  https://t.co/cOuh24hhSW
206 rapple18 2016-03-16T12:02:32 HI I'm here!  #ELTchat
205 TESLOntario 2016-03-16T12:02:51 RT @ELTchat: It's time for our weekly gathering - Who's around today, #ELTchat folks? Ready to talk Teacher Training for 21st Century Skill…
204 angelos_bollas 2016-03-16T12:03:07 And here's our @Nurph channel - for those who don't want to type our hashtag all the time #eltchat https://t.co/hPMtG9uVCx
203 angelos_bollas 2016-03-16T12:03:25 @rapple18 Hello Rachel! Welcome :) #eltchat
202 rapple18 2016-03-16T12:06:04 @angelos_bollas @Nurph just trying to fix his on a new browser... #ELTchat
201 angelos_bollas 2016-03-16T12:06:55 Today's topic is Teacher Training for 21st Century Teachers, so the questions would be who the 21st Century Teachers are, right? #eltchat
200 angelos_bollas 2016-03-16T12:07:26 @rapple18 @Nurph Try on Chrome #ELTchat I used it on Chrome and it works just fine :) Are you facing issues?
199 getgreatenglish 2016-03-16T12:08:55 Hi @angelos_bollas and @rapple18 and all else! #ELTchat
198 getgreatenglish 2016-03-16T12:10:20 Shall I be the heretic who admits he doesn't believe in such a thing as '21st Century Skills'? #ELTchat
197 angelos_bollas 2016-03-16T12:10:21 Do you think a unique characteristic of 21st c Ts is the use of tech or the more complicated needs of SS? #eltchat  https://t.co/5uCOXb7Hvw
196 angelos_bollas 2016-03-16T12:11:01 Same here - Once I heard a great talk from @TeachingVillage about this #eltchat  https://t.co/xXq046OMfZ

194 angelos_bollas 2016-03-16T12:12:33 @rapple18 is involved in teachers' book writing. How has this changed for 21st. century, Rachel? #eltchat
193 rapple18 2016-03-16T12:12:51 #eltchat saw this at ih bcn conf: https://t.co/lBqUzXPp3c
192 getgreatenglish 2016-03-16T12:13:00 @angelos_bollas I think it's often taken to be. I think perhaps maintaining focus on what you're doing is more relevant to 21st C #ELTchat
191 angelos_bollas 2016-03-16T12:13:26 @getgreatenglish How do you mean that, Marc? #eltchat
190 angelos_bollas 2016-03-16T12:13:41 @rapple18 Loving it #eltchat
189 rapple18 2016-03-16T12:13:42 #eltchat well I'm still involved in paper wriing.. but have also done some dig stuff. - very different medium ...
188 rapple18 2016-03-16T12:14:59 #eltchat I've always thought I'd be fine with a stick and sandpit, without need of an IWB. It's abt approach - not about showing off tech
187 angelos_bollas 2016-03-16T12:16:04 @rapple18 True - tech literacy can be achieved independently, not necessarily as part of TT - What about digital pedagogy? #ELTchat
186 rapple18 2016-03-16T12:16:12 #eltchat but as the cartoon illustrates, if we don't keep up, others will take over ... and sts expect it too That's a key issue #motivation
185 getgreatenglish 2016-03-16T12:16:27 @angelos_bollas Learners often distracted by phones, social media (as are all of us). Less cognitively demanding than L2 focus. #ELTchat
184 rapple18 2016-03-16T12:17:04 .@angelos_bollas #eltchat what do you mean exactly... - different meths for teaching online, or with digi stuff?

182 angelos_bollas 2016-03-16T12:17:16 @getgreatenglish True - I think Ts need to learn how to make use of all these and turn them into learning opportunities #ELTchat

180 David__Boughton 2016-03-16T12:17:44 I can't do anything faster than write on a whiteboard or mark a paper with a pen. #ELTChat
179 rapple18 2016-03-16T12:17:47 #eltchat I love Ts who take tech on board and positively USE sts' phones.. - needs planning into the lesson, but handling with care
178 angelos_bollas 2016-03-16T12:18:16 @rapple18 not using tech for the sake of it but knowing what, how, and when to use it in order to achieve learning objectives #ELTchat
177 angelos_bollas 2016-03-16T12:18:51 @rapple18 Same here :) #eltchat
176 getgreatenglish 2016-03-16T12:19:32 #ELTchat I also think tech overused for no reason too often. IWB is often just cheaper/better looking than flipcharts.
175 angelos_bollas 2016-03-16T12:20:10 @getgreatenglish I have never used IWB - prefer a projector and my laptop #eltchat
174 rapple18 2016-03-16T12:20:46 .@angelos_bollas #eltchat yes + I think 1 way 2start with is to drop online/tech stuff into a standard LP  (for those w/ min experience)
173 getgreatenglish 2016-03-16T12:21:19 @angelos_bollas Imagine a giant iPad with bloated, semi-functional software. #ELTchat

170 angelos_bollas 2016-03-16T12:21:37 Would you all agree that LPing is one of those skills that are still of great importance? #eltchat  https://t.co/TWh97vS8LK

168 angelos_bollas 2016-03-16T12:22:08 @getgreatenglish I know what it is; I just don't enjoy using it - I think it's a bit time consuming. #eltchat
167 angelos_bollas 2016-03-16T12:22:20 @MattEllman Hey Matt! Welcome #ELTchat :)
166 rapple18 2016-03-16T12:22:58 . @angelos_bollas #eltchat Lesson planning - yes HUGELY! even if you chuck it!
165 getgreatenglish 2016-03-16T12:23:08 @angelos_bollas I *had to* use one in primary teaching. Bells and whistles. #ELTchat

163 angelos_bollas 2016-03-16T12:23:43 @rapple18 Agree - That's the one think that helped me immensely #eltchat
162 rapple18 2016-03-16T12:23:58 #eltchat I had2use an IWB yrs ago at  BritCo- no chalk. Great training, tho took long planning. DOES get easier  (wish I hadnt forgotten!)
161 angelos_bollas 2016-03-16T12:24:14 @getgreatenglish YLs enjoy it a lot though #eltchat
160 getgreatenglish 2016-03-16T12:24:52 @angelos_bollas @rapple18 It is one of the mainstays. Knowing your options for reactive activities outside the plan is key. #ELTchat
159 MattEllman 2016-03-16T12:24:53 Surely there's more to being a 21st century teacher than #edtech? :) #ELTchat
158 angelos_bollas 2016-03-16T12:25:00 So, how are our needs different in the new century? WHat is that we expect from trainers? #eltchat
157 angelos_bollas 2016-03-16T12:25:42 @MattEllman Very true - such as? #eltchat
156 MattEllman 2016-03-16T12:26:03 The linguistic environment for students is different - so much easier to find exposure to English #ELTchat
155 MattEllman 2016-03-16T12:26:25 Which for me reduces the need for authentic materials in class somewhat #ELTchat
154 getgreatenglish 2016-03-16T12:26:26 @angelos_bollas YLs love novelty, it is true. Not necessarily tech. Lights and screens = not schoolwork. #ELTchat
153 angelos_bollas 2016-03-16T12:26:34 That's an interesting point - Also English is different no Brit/Am any longer #eltchat  https://t.co/JifkcZSCbV
152 rapple18 2016-03-16T12:26:46 #eltchat Lots more flex'ty / focus on individs to meet input needs but the HOW I LEARN best needs https://t.co/TkPa8L0Lb3
151 angelos_bollas 2016-03-16T12:27:04 @MattEllman I think authenticity has become different but still useful #eltchat
150 MattEllman 2016-03-16T12:27:25 Yes, definitely still plays a part #ELTchat
149 angelos_bollas 2016-03-16T12:28:09 @rapple18 Do you think this is because now we know better? Ts should always focus on individuals. Why now an important skill? #eltchat
148 angelos_bollas 2016-03-16T12:28:36 #eltchat  https://t.co/buKqBFKXke
147 rapple18 2016-03-16T12:29:15 .@angelos_bollas #eltchat ?more options available? more fussy sts? higher stakes?greater demands? ...?
146 getgreatenglish 2016-03-16T12:29:39 @michaelegriffin If we 'teach kids for jobs that don't exist yet' how do we teach meaningful skills? How does language feature? #ELTchat

140 MattEllman 2016-03-16T12:31:45 The language has changed as well, but descriptions haven't caught up #ELTchat

137 rapple18 2016-03-16T12:32:18 @getgreatenglish @michaelegriffin #eltchat I dont think we can predict future jobs: simply get sts2want2learn, - using best poss means 2/2
136 angelos_bollas 2016-03-16T12:32:24 @MattEllman They are always a bit behind, aren't they? #eltchat
135 angelos_bollas 2016-03-16T12:32:47 @StubbsCarrie Welcome Carrie! :) #eltchat
134 rapple18 2016-03-16T12:33:00 . @MattEllman   #eltchat "descriptions" in terms of grammar, or ... ?
133 angelos_bollas 2016-03-16T12:33:34 @rapple18 @getgreatenglish @michaelegriffin Also Autonomy has become an important issue in ELT lately #eltchat
132 MattEllman 2016-03-16T12:34:02 Grammar - fair enough to be a bit behind but coursebook grammar is as it was in the 60s #ELTchat
131 MattEllman 2016-03-16T12:34:52 Direct speech for example, be + like has been around since the 90s but still not in course materials #ELTchat
130 angelos_bollas 2016-03-16T12:34:56 @MattEllman There is an attempt to approach grammar differently with some publishers. Not quite there, yet #eltchat
129 getgreatenglish 2016-03-16T12:35:25 @rapple18 @angelos_bollas Like internet medical self-diagnosis, internet self study risk: think you're more skillful than reality. #ELTchat
128 David__Boughton 2016-03-16T12:35:32 Shouldn't ESL Ts worry about English, not job (ie 21st century) skills? #ELTChat

121 MattEllman 2016-03-16T12:37:07 We have a 'life skills' syllabus where I teach now - God knows what qualifies TEFLers to teach those #ELTchat

119 angelos_bollas 2016-03-16T12:37:43 @MattEllman British Council has a life skills course, too - Any relation to Eng Lang? #eltchat
118 StubbsCarrie 2016-03-16T12:37:57 @MattEllman What are 'life skills' in the ESL classroom? #eltchat

115 getgreatenglish 2016-03-16T12:38:46 #ELTchat A key 21st Century skill. Extensive reading & listening while filtering stupid/boring content.
114 michaelegriffin 2016-03-16T12:38:57 Interesting to see some (heretical?) thoughts on 21st century teaching and learning on #ELTchat. I thought I was alone here in my cave.
113 MattEllman 2016-03-16T12:39:08 @StubbsCarrie Typically involves an aimless speaking lesson about 'time management' or 'body language'! #ELTchat
112 michaelegriffin 2016-03-16T12:39:10 RT @getgreatenglish: #ELTchat A key 21st Century skill. Extensive reading & listening while filtering stupid/boring content.
111 angelos_bollas 2016-03-16T12:39:18 @getgreatenglish Or while FBing and Twittering and Messaging and Phubbing in general - Agree #eltchat
110 angelos_bollas 2016-03-16T12:39:42 @michaelegriffin Welcome, Michael! :-) #eltchat
109 angelos_bollas 2016-03-16T12:40:02 @MattEllman @StubbsCarrie So Eng is the medium for sth else, right? #eltchat

107 MattEllman 2016-03-16T12:40:41 @angelos_bollas @StubbsCarrie In theory, yes, but it's often a pretty confused mess #ELTchat
106 MattEllman 2016-03-16T12:41:48 shouldn't 21st century teaching/teacher training simply be a case of using the most up to date resources/research? #ELTchat
105 angelos_bollas 2016-03-16T12:41:58 So, do you think current TT qualifications are up-to-date? #eltchat
104 MattEllman 2016-03-16T12:42:12 ...As and when they are appropriate, of course #ELTchat
103 getgreatenglish 2016-03-16T12:42:15 #ELTchat Don't get me started on "Skype has voice translation now, so…" So what? You'll mediate *all* communication via tech? Get real!
102 angelos_bollas 2016-03-16T12:42:19 @MattEllman That's one aspect of it, for sure, I think #eltchat
101 MattEllman 2016-03-16T12:42:36 @angelos_bollas That depends a lot on trainers - how many of them stay up to date? #ELTchat
100 angelos_bollas 2016-03-16T12:42:44 @MattEllman Well, that's the most important part of it, isn't it? #eltchat
99 David__Boughton 2016-03-16T12:42:55 This is private ed. Ss pay to learn English not life skills #ELTChat
98 rapple18 2016-03-16T12:43:09 @angelos_bollas  #eltchat does an online celta help towards this ..? There are more and more ..
97 MattEllman 2016-03-16T12:43:12 @angelos_bollas Glance at CELTA/DELTA reading lists and they haven't changed for decades #ELTchat
96 angelos_bollas 2016-03-16T12:43:21 @getgreatenglish That's what my Chinese SS do in the first day of lessons - After that, they forget about that. #eltchat
95 getgreatenglish 2016-03-16T12:43:31 @angelos_bollas No, but tech except corpus linguistics is irrelevant to this. #ELTchat

93 angelos_bollas 2016-03-16T12:43:55 @MattEllman One would hope all - They expect trainees to be up to date, no? #ELTchat

90 MattEllman 2016-03-16T12:44:38 @angelos_bollas Learning styles are a good example of outdated theory being peddled on TT courses #ELTchat

88 angelos_bollas 2016-03-16T12:45:06 @MattEllman CELTA should require an observed online TP IMO #eltchat
87 MattEllman 2016-03-16T12:45:48 @angelos_bollas Interesting thought - for me that's a different qualification #ELTchat
86 TalkenEnglish 2016-03-16T12:45:55 @David__Boughton Sometime to teach english you need to teach skills like critical thinking. #eltchat
85 angelos_bollas 2016-03-16T12:45:56 @MattEllman And it is in every one of them (TKT, CELTA, Delta, Praxis II, etc.) #eltchat
84 MattEllman 2016-03-16T12:46:02 @angelos_bollas Should include some YL teaching first! #ELTchat
83 rapple18 2016-03-16T12:46:20 @angelos_bollas  #eltchat just hearsay. no personal research (!)

76 angelos_bollas 2016-03-16T12:48:37 @StubbsCarrie Sure there is - I meant observed online teaching practice (like teaching using Adobe Connect Pro) #eltchat
75 MattEllman 2016-03-16T12:48:53 So part of the blame is with the likes of Cambridge - they write the CELTA/DELTA syllabuses  #ELTchat

73 getgreatenglish 2016-03-16T12:49:20 @angelos_bollas @MattEllman Disagree Angelos. Not every1 will teach online. teaching is the same: only class management different. #ELTchat

64 rapple18 2016-03-16T12:50:30 #ELTchat an increasing no. of orgs are running online TTcourses 6wks PT: IH, BC, consultants e etc. All up for grabs. Am doing 1 in May-June
63 angelos_bollas 2016-03-16T12:50:44 @LauraSoracco Good morning Laura! :) Welcome #eltchat
62 MattEllman 2016-03-16T12:50:54 @angelos_bollas @getgreatenglish You could say the same for YL teaching, Business English teaching, EAP teaching... #ELTchat
61 getgreatenglish 2016-03-16T12:51:24 @angelos_bollas @MattEllman How do they know there's a feasible market for it in their territory? #ELTChat
60 SueAnnan 2016-03-16T12:51:31 is online T necessary in all contexts, though #eltchat
59 LauraSoracco 2016-03-16T12:51:46 @angelos_bollas Good morning! Love today's topic! Have you all talked about digital literacy as a 21 century skill? #ELTChat
58 rapple18 2016-03-16T12:51:59 @angelos_bollas @getgreatenglish @MattEllman #eltchat not always a Q of "like"  ...
57 angelos_bollas 2016-03-16T12:52:03 @MattEllman @getgreatenglish You're right #eltchat
56 LauraSoracco 2016-03-16T12:52:25 @SueAnnan hello! #ELTChat
55 angelos_bollas 2016-03-16T12:52:33 @getgreatenglish @MattEllman I thought it could give them a hands-on idea - Maybe not #eltchat
54 getgreatenglish 2016-03-16T12:52:41 @MattEllman @angelos_bollas I think the YL extension used to make sense. Bus Eng should be an extension. Online should be, too. #ELTChat

52 SueAnnan 2016-03-16T12:52:44 @LauraSoracco Hi laura #eltchat
51 MattEllman 2016-03-16T12:52:45 @angelos_bollas @getgreatenglish There's a limit to what you can cover on a 4-week CELTA #ELTchat
50 angelos_bollas 2016-03-16T12:53:31 @getgreatenglish @MattEllman YL ext has been discontinued #eltchat
49 MattEllman 2016-03-16T12:53:42 @getgreatenglish @angelos_bollas Agreed. The YL extension is disappearing though! #ELTchat
48 SueAnnan 2016-03-16T12:53:45 @getgreatenglish @MattEllman @angelos_bollas Besig has a great panel discussion on 1st April about BE teaching #eltchat
47 TalkenEnglish 2016-03-16T12:53:49 @MattEllman @angelos_bollas @getgreatenglish Challenge of CELTA is has to be applicable for manyTs in many different situations #eltchat

44 EnglishMyWayUK 2016-03-16T12:54:17 Should these not be part of on-going CPD? As @MattEllman says - 4 weeks can only cover the basics! #ELTchat
43 rapple18 2016-03-16T12:54:35 @getgreatenglish @MattEllman @angelos_bollas #eltchat not sure I agree. U can choose if you do BE or YL in some places... I'd HATE to do YL!

41 getgreatenglish 2016-03-16T12:54:54 @TalkenEnglish @MattEllman @angelos_bollas Yet differentiation preached in DELTA/Diploma. #ELTchat
40 rapple18 2016-03-16T12:55:17 @SueAnnan @getgreatenglish @MattEllman @angelos_bollas can you send me the link, Sue? Thx :) #eltchat ( tho Imust have it somewhere...
39 MattEllman 2016-03-16T12:55:19 @EnglishMyWayUK Agreed! :) #ELTchat
38 SueAnnan 2016-03-16T12:55:26 @getgreatenglish @TalkenEnglish @MattEllman @angelos_bollas abslutely. It is the Buzz word of the moment #eltchat
37 getgreatenglish 2016-03-16T12:55:41 @rapple18 @MattEllman @angelos_bollas I can't get the stamina to do too much YL. #ELTchat
36 SueAnnan 2016-03-16T12:55:48 @rapple18 @getgreatenglish @MattEllman @angelos_bollas will do #eltchat
35 angelos_bollas 2016-03-16T12:55:53 @rapple18 @getgreatenglish @MattEllman Me too, back then but I have been asked to train YL Ts and am clueless :( #eltchat
34 EnglishMyWayUK 2016-03-16T12:56:17 Been observing lots of inexperienced teachers recently - differentiation would improve their learners' experience exponentially! #ELTchat
33 LauraSoracco 2016-03-16T12:56:30 @MattEllman teacher training about incorporating 21C skills, eg- CT & ability to summarize. 21C skills applied 2 how we get info. #ELTChat
32 angelos_bollas 2016-03-16T12:56:40 @EnglishMyWayUK And their own classroom experience, too #eltchat
31 angelos_bollas 2016-03-16T12:57:11 @LauraSoracco @MattEllman How we get info very important indeed - and sth about Online safety, perhaps? #eltchat
30 TalkenEnglish 2016-03-16T12:57:15 @EnglishMyWayUK @MattEllman I used the CELTA as a way to get firm basics to start teaching.  I thought it very useful in that way. #eltchat
29 ddeubel 2016-03-16T12:57:21 RT @getgreatenglish: #ELTchat A key 21st Century skill. Extensive reading & listening while filtering stupid/boring content.
28 rapple18 2016-03-16T12:57:43 @angelos_bollas @getgreatenglish @MattEllman #eltchat well I've done that..  (TT YL)  (tho ages ago) - MUCH easier than with  kids around(!)
27 angelos_bollas 2016-03-16T12:57:54 @TalkenEnglish @EnglishMyWayUK @MattEllman I did it after 8 years of teaching - Best course ever! #eltchat
26 MattEllman 2016-03-16T12:57:58 @angelos_bollas @LauraSoracco But in terms of a CELTA, say - how does a 21stC course look different to a 20thc one? #ELTchat
25 getgreatenglish 2016-03-16T12:58:11 @LauraSoracco @MattEllman Is this really a 21st Century skill or just a general literacy skill. I personally see it as the latter. #eltchat
24 LauraSoracco 2016-03-16T12:58:36 @angelos_bollas @MattEllman also how 2 summ, apply CT 2 content found. We assume Ss are digital natives & can navigate w/o guidance #ELTChat
23 SueAnnan 2016-03-16T12:58:45 @MattEllman @angelos_bollas @LauraSoracco I think technology has moved on, so access to CPD is important #eltchat
22 StubbsCarrie 2016-03-16T12:58:48 @EnglishMyWayUK  Doing the CELTA can be overwhelming. Differentiation might be too much for an inexperienced T to take on  #eltchat
21 TalkenEnglish 2016-03-16T12:58:56 RT @getgreatenglish: @LauraSoracco @MattEllman Is this really a 21st Century skill or just a general literacy skill. I personally see it as…
20 angelos_bollas 2016-03-16T12:59:02 @MattEllman @LauraSoracco Less on outdated methods, etc and more about current needs of learners (ones discussed before) #eltchat
19 LauraSoracco 2016-03-16T12:59:22 To all CELTA folks.... an interesting Q #ELTChat https://t.co/JQEH1cofNh
18 SueAnnan 2016-03-16T12:59:24 Would someone like to volunteer for the summary writing please? #eltchat
17 rapple18 2016-03-16T12:59:36 @angelos_bollas @LauraSoracco @MattEllman "Online safety" - a topic for another week? V important...  #eltchat
16 LauraSoracco 2016-03-16T12:59:44 @MattEllman @angelos_bollas Haven't done CELTA, sorry. #ELTChat
15 angelos_bollas 2016-03-16T12:59:45 @SueAnnan @MattEllman @LauraSoracco And knowing what and how to choose #eltchat
14 SueAnnan 2016-03-16T13:00:00 #ELTchat https://t.co/M2kNcCaXhY
13 angelos_bollas 2016-03-16T13:00:19 A summary writer is needed, please #eltchat  https://t.co/AWu0AwTEP9
12 EnglishMyWayUK 2016-03-16T13:00:22 @StubbsCarrie needs to be introduced early through emphasising learner-centred methods. #ELTchat
11 angelos_bollas 2016-03-16T13:01:07 It's time to end, unfortunately - That was a great #ELTchat - who wants to write it up?
10 getgreatenglish 2016-03-16T13:01:09 @LauraSoracco @angelos_bollas @MattEllman Crit thinking not invented for 21C. Always been necessary. Think 'the man' wants less. #ELTChat
9 SueAnnan 2016-03-16T13:01:37 RT @angelos_bollas: It's time to end, unfortunately - That was a great #ELTchat - who wants to write it up?
8 LauraSoracco 2016-03-16T13:01:47 @getgreatenglish @MattEllman it's literacy for the 21C. If digital content is not included in literacy, then we're behind. #ELTChat
7 rapple18 2016-03-16T13:02:07 @angelos_bollas Indeed.. and a topic that'll keep coming around! Thanks all! #ELTchat
6 SueAnnan 2016-03-16T13:02:27 Bye everyone. Thanks for participating #eltchat
5 angelos_bollas 2016-03-16T13:02:43 If anyone from you has a similar topic to suggest for next #ELTchat, feel free to do so please. We have more to say https://t.co/QE3l0FyurX
4 MattEllman 2016-03-16T13:02:44 @LauraSoracco @getgreatenglish Agreed, but what's the role of literacy in teacher training? #ELTchat
3 LauraSoracco 2016-03-16T13:02:53 @getgreatenglish @angelos_bollas @MattEllman Very true -but it's just putting emphasis on an aspect of learning that is more imp #ELTChat
2 getgreatenglish 2016-03-16T13:03:06 @LauraSoracco @MattEllman Sure, but it's merely text navigation and genre convention. #eltchat
