SueAnnan 2019-04-10T18:16:16 What do you see as new trends where you are? #ELTchat
SueAnnan 2019-04-10T18:16:47 @CsillaBenn Yes- soft skills #ELTchat
Marisa_C 2019-04-10T18:17:05 @CsillaBenn Mine two - I don't think human contact is going to be replaced by any bot or robot #eltchat
fionaljp 2019-04-10T18:18:55 @Marisa_C Like this one: https://t.co/cQK2YjZqDc Hopefully it’s just another way of learning though #eltchat
Marisa_C 2019-04-10T18:19:34 @fionaljp yes that 's the one they tend to use - pretty good too! #eltchat

Marisa_C 2019-04-10T18:21:45 What about YOU though - what do YOU think will be a tend in your context #ELTchat
SueAnnan 2019-04-10T18:22:05 I'm finding that I teach less and do more coaching these days #ELTChat

SueAnnan 2019-04-10T18:32:12 @fionaljp @Marisa_C @NeilJMcCutcheon I spent an evening with Neil. He is really cool to chat to #ELTChat

SueAnnan 2019-04-10T18:40:02 Do you think that the Dinosaurs will teach themselves out of a job if they don't learn to adapt? #ELTChat
fionaljp 2019-04-10T18:41:15 @SueAnnan Sounds good. This is a great FutureLearn course on teaching online apparently #ELTchat https://t.co/lFNiYq1vlQ
teachingright 2019-04-10T18:42:23 @Marisa_C #ELTChat in my context Ss & Trs need to be taught the  21st century skills and how to apply them in & out the classroom.

SueAnnan 2019-04-10T18:44:48 @teachingright @Marisa_C Are we still calling them 21st C skills? WE are already well into the century now :-) #ELTchat
fionaljp 2019-04-10T18:44:50 @teachingright @Marisa_C Yes, training and support is vital #eltchat
Marisa_C 2019-04-10T18:45:10 @SueAnnan @teachingright Oh1 Sorry, your grace! #ELTchat
fionaljp 2019-04-10T18:45:26 @SueAnnan Good start though #eltchat
SueAnnan 2019-04-10T18:45:37 @Marisa_C @teachingright But..... What should we call them now? #ELTchat
samuelgush 2019-04-10T18:46:37 @SueAnnan @Marisa_C @teachingright Early-mid 21st-century skills ... not got much of a ring to it #ELTchat

SueAnnan 2019-04-10T18:47:48 @teachingright @Marisa_C Yet loads of people at IATEFL were set against calling them by that name nowadays #ELTchat
Marisa_C 2019-04-10T18:48:29 New trend or iatefl fashion? #eltchat https://t.co/Ld5vyaIlu2
SueAnnan 2019-04-10T18:49:30 @fionaljp I suppose so. And it can be free if you don't need a CPD certificate. Marie Therese Swaby runs it . She's lovely #ELTChat
teachingright 2019-04-10T18:50:12 @SueAnnan @Marisa_C Future skills?  #ELTChat
SueAnnan 2019-04-10T18:50:20 @Marisa_C Not sure. I'e heard the BESIGers grumble about the name too #ELTChat
fionaljp 2019-04-10T18:50:45 @SueAnnan Perfect #eltchat
Shujaat_English 2019-04-10T18:51:27 To me the new normal soon will be the context approach: researched and developed for particular contexts, tongue in cheek?  #ELTChat

SueAnnan 2019-04-10T18:59:00 It's full of the old taboos in normalised format. Not sure the publishers would go near it #ELTchat
