8:01 pm BethCagnol: @Marisa_C @ShellTerrell I read Scott's article for the first time this evening (embarrassed to say). Interesting stuff. #ELTCHAT

8:02 pm Marisa_C: RT @DaveDodgson: Does it fit for dogme to be described as a 'product'? #ELTchat - pls discuss :-)
8:02 pm olafelch: @DaveDodgson I can't really relate to the word "product" #ELTchat
8:02 pm Shaunwilden: @DaveDodgson A product? Am intrigued what do you mean by that? #ELTCHAT
8:03 pm cerirhiannon: I'm trying monitter for #ELTchat
8:03 pm ShellTerrell: RT @DaveDodgson: Does it fit for dogme to be described as a 'product'? #ELTchat
8:03 pm esolcourses: RT @DaveDodgson: Does it fit for dogme to be described as a 'product'? #ELTchat ] would method be a better description?
8:04 pm ShellTerrell: @BethCagnol I've got the Pjs as well & my GrooveShark list playing :-) #ELTChat
8:04 pm olafelch: As a teacher I feel an attraction to being freed from the coursebook, but can I do that in a school? #ELTchat
8:04 pm BethCagnol: @ShellTerrell @kalinagoenglish And are you, can we say, a "dogma practitioner?" #ELTCHAT
8:04 pm DaveDodgson: @Shaunwilden That was the topic question! Is it a niche product? #ELTchat
8:04 pm SueannaN: Isn't Dogme what all experienced teachers do some of the time, anyway? #ELTchat
8:04 pm nutrich: @Marisa_C @davedodgson It's a 'philosophical approach'! #eltchat
8:05 pm Shaunwilden: RT @olafelch: As a teacher I feel an attraction to being freed from the coursebook, but can I do that in a school? #ELTchat
8:05 pm kalinagoenglish: sorry, wasting time trying to figure out tweetgrid ... too late for faffing #ELTchat
8:05 pm ShellTerrell: @bethcagnol Only on a few occasions but @kalinagoenglish is an experienced practitioner who knows her stuff! :-) #ELTChat
8:05 pm annabooklover: RT @SueannaN: Isn't Dogme what all experienced teachers do some of the time, anyway? #ELTchat
8:05 pm bcinfrance: I love the topic but do you all really think dogme is a product? #eltchat
8:05 pm DaveDodgson: @SueannaN I think Mr Thornbury would disagree with you! #ELTchat
8:05 pm ShellTerrell: Good question! RT @SueannaN: Isn't Dogme what all experienced teachers do some of the time, anyway? #ELTchat
8:05 pm Marisa_C: @esolcourses @DaveDodgson a method? an approach? or a movement as its creator calls it? or an attitude? #ELTchat
8:05 pm DaveDodgson: RT @olafelch: As a teacher I feel an attraction to being freed from the coursebook, but can I do that in a school? #ELTchat
8:05 pm cerirhiannon: @Marisa_C approach maybe, or philosophy, not method #ELTchat?
8:06 pm Shaunwilden: RT @Shaunwilden: @DaveDodgson Yes sorry I thought you were taking a yes stance #ELTchat
8:06 pm ShellTerrell: RT @nutrich: @Marisa_C @davedodgson It's a 'philosophical approach'! #eltchat
8:06 pm vbenevolofranca: @esolcourses @DaveDodgson Or - wonder whether approach isn't a better way of describing dogme? #ELTchat
8:06 pm olafelch: @SueannaN I think you might be referring to the famed "dogme moments" #ELTchat
8:06 pm vickyloras: RT @olafelch As a T I feel an attraction 2being freed from coursebk,but can I do that in a schl? #ELTchat >>Ts may want to apply it,but..
8:06 pm Marisa_C: RT @SueannaN: Isn't Dogme what all experienced teachers do some of the time, anyway? #ELTchat
8:06 pm cerirhiannon: given up on monitter - too long a time lag #ELTchat
8:07 pm bcinfrance: I have found it's a concept that can be used from 25% to 100%. I'm more at the 25% so far from a purist #eltchat
8:07 pm Marisa_C: RT @olafelch: @SueannaN I think you might be referring to the famed "dogme moments" #ELTchat | :-)
8:07 pm kalinagoenglish: @Mbenevides called it an approach to approaches which I quite liked to be honest - I see it as philosphy and attitute #ELTchat
8:07 pm esoldaveglasgow: RT @nutrich: @Marisa_C @davedodgson It's a 'philosophical approach'! #eltchat
8:07 pm ShellTerrell: RT @olafelch: As a teacher I feel an attraction to being freed from the coursebook, but can I do that in a school? #ELTchat
8:07 pm BethCagnol: @DaveDodgson Well, Scott managed to sell a book on the subject...and that's a product... #ELTCHAT
8:07 pm ShellTerrell: Me too! RT @bcinfrance: I have found it's a concept that can be used from 25% to 100%. I'm more at the 25% so far from a purist #eltchat
8:07 pm cerirhiannon: RT @DaveDodgson: RT @olafelch: ... but can I do that in a school? #ELTchat > what kind of school we talking about?
8:07 pm ShellTerrell: RT @olafelch: @SueannaN I think you might be referring to the famed "dogme moments" #ELTchat
8:07 pm BethCagnol: @kalinagoenglish There she is! Good to see you here.
#ELTCHAT
8:08 pm Marisa_C: @esoldaveglasgow @kalinagoenglish #eltchat a state of mind? #ELTchat
8:08 pm ShellTerrell: RT @kalinagoenglish: @Mbenevides called it an approach to approaches which I quite liked to be honest - I see it as philosphy and attitute #ELTchat
8:08 pm cerirhiannon: RT @kalinagoenglish: @Mbenevides called it an approach to approaches - I see it as philosphy and attitute #ELTchat > I like attitude too
8:08 pm olafelch: @kalinagoenglish I like the word attitude. That works for me. #ELTchat
8:08 pm annabooklover: All of us practice Dogme one time or another. DO we have to believe in it to be OK? Some of us are good without God you know...#ELTCHAT
8:08 pm ShellTerrell: RT @Marisa_C: @esolcourses @DaveDodgson a method? an approach? or a movement as its creator calls it? or an attitude? #ELTchat
8:08 pm kalinagoenglish: Like @sueannan says. + think most teachers have "dogme" moments but they don't realize their classes could be mostly that. #ELTchat
8:08 pm olafelch: RT @Marisa_C: @esoldaveglasgow @kalinagoenglish #eltchat a state of mind? #ELTchat
8:08 pm Marisa_C: Dogme certainly has no specific methodology attached to it #ELTchat - specific techniques
8:08 pm peterjohnfenton: Seem to remember ST insisting at IATEFL 2010 that dogme definitely wasn't a method - not sure that it's a movement though #ELTchat
8:09 pm rliberni: RT @olafelch: @kalinagoenglish I like the word attitude. That works for me. #ELTchat #eltchat
8:09 pm annabooklover: RT @bcinfrance: I have found it's a concept that can be used from 25% to 100%. I'm more at the 25% so far from a purist #eltchat
8:09 pm ShellTerrell: What are misconceptions and misunderstandings about Dogme that the experienced ones have noticed? #ELTChat
8:09 pm kalinagoenglish: @bethcagnol #ELTchat - struggling but here - 25 windows open at the same time, 10pm caught up on me 2 quick
8:09 pm BethCagnol: I think we should all be trained in it. Come to think of it, I was at some point way back when. No photocopier, electricity, etc #ELTchat
8:09 pm nutrich: @Marisa_C Unless dogme remains 'pure' how is it anything other than 'adapting the coursebook'? ; ) #eltchat
8:09 pm vickyloras: RT @Marisa_C Dogme certainly has no specific methodology attached to it #ELTchat - specific techniques
8:10 pm rliberni: RT @peterjohnfenton: Seem to remember ST insisting at IATEFL 2010 that dogme def wasn't a method - not sure it's a movement though #eltchat
8:10 pm DaveDodgson: @ShellTerrell Some seem to think anything without a textbook is dogme! #ELTchat
8:10 pm vbenevolofranca: @olafelch I think you can, but we're not talking about every lesson - that's how I always dealt with this aspect.#ELTchat
8:10 pm esolcourses: @Marisa_C maybe a dash of all those things in there... though attitude/approach perhaps more so @olafelch @kalinagoenglish: #ELTCHAT
8:10 pm rliberni: RT @nutrich: @Marisa_C Unless dogme remains 'pure' how is it anything other than 'adapting the coursebook'? ; ) #eltchat
8:10 pm esolcourses: RT @ShellTerrell: What are misconceptions and misunderstandings about Dogme that the experienced ones have noticed? #ELTChat
8:10 pm Shaunwilden: RT @peterjohnfenton: Seem 2 remember ST insisting at IATEFL 2010 dogme wasn't a method #ELTchat though he did call it one in the same talk
8:10 pm rliberni: RT @ShellTerrell: What are misconceptions and misunderstandings about Dogme that the experienced ones have noticed? #ELTChat #eltchat
8:10 pm ShellTerrell: RT @nutrich: @Marisa_C Unless dogme remains 'pure' how is it anything other than 'adapting the coursebook'? ; ) #eltchat
8:10 pm Marisa_C: The specific topic today is not only WHAT it is but whether it fits into a school context #ELTchat
8:10 pm nutrich: Unless dogme remains 'pure' then is it anything other than 'adapting the coursebook'? #eltchat
8:10 pm kalinagoenglish: the #dogmeme challenge @shellterrell is hopefully aiming to address some of those issues! #ELTchat
8:11 pm ShellTerrell: RT @DaveDodgson: @ShellTerrell Some seem to think anything without a textbook is dogme! #ELTchat
8:11 pm Shaunwilden: RT @DaveDodgson: @ShellTerrell Some seem to think anything without a textbook is dogme! #ELTchat or just winging it qualifies :-)
8:11 pm ShellTerrell: RT @kalinagoenglish: the #dogmeme challenge @shellterrell is hopefully aiming to address some of those issues! #ELTchat
8:11 pm dfogarty: Dogme is a label. Nothing more. #ELTchat
8:11 pm olafelch: @Marisa_C But given the constraints of the approach, isn't the methodology also limited? #ELTchat
8:11 pm rliberni: I have to admit to not really knowing but I think I 'do' it by the nature of the kind of teaching I do - if that makes sense! #eltchat
8:11 pm Marisa_C: Please consider schoolchildren as the focus/.target age group for relating to Dogme #ELTchat
8:11 pm rliberni: RT @Marisa_C: The specific topic today is not only WHAT it is but whether it fits into a school context #ELTchat #eltchat
8:11 pm kalinagoenglish: I think a lot of the confusion is down to confusion of terminology and old arguments of "methodology" @shellterrell #ELTchat
8:11 pm Marisa_C: RT @dfogarty: Dogme is a label. Nothing more. #ELTchat
8:11 pm rliberni: RT @ShellTerrell: RT @DaveDodgson: @ShellTerrell Some seem to think anything without a textbook is dogme! #ELTchat #eltchat
8:12 pm olafelch: RT @ShellTerrell: RT @DaveDodgson: @ShellTerrell Some seem to think anything without a textbook is dogme! #ELTchat
8:12 pm nutrich: RT @DaveDodgson: @ShellTerrell Some seem to think anything without a textbook is dogme! #ELTchat
8:12 pm ShellTerrell: @kalinagoenglish That's fantastic! I've seen some say they did a Dogme lesson then another say it really wasn't one #ELTChat
8:12 pm tefldust: RT @Marisa_C: RT @kalinagoenglish: The easiest speaking game in the world...:-)http://ow.ly/2WIcK #TEFL #ELT #ESL #ELTchat #dogmeme
8:12 pm esolcourses: RT @Marisa_C: Please consider schoolchildren as the focus/.target age group for relating to Dogme #ELTchat
8:12 pm lydbury: @dfogarty Thanks - but what does the label mean? #ELTchat
8:12 pm ncguerreiro: RT @englishraven: I haven't yet seen a class that didn't enjoy learning more about pronunciation and how to improve it. = Motivating #ELTChat
8:12 pm Marisa_C: RT @Shaunwilden: RT @DaveDodgson: @ShellTerrell Some seem to think anything without a textbook is dogme! #ELTchat
8:12 pm Marisa_C: RT @Shaunwilden: RT @DaveDodgson: @ShellTerrell #ELTchat or just winging it qualifies :-)
8:12 pm DaveDodgson: Was it Vicky Samuel who wrote on Ken Wilson's blog about abandoning coursebooks in a high school setting? #ELTchat
8:12 pm cerirhiannon: no coursebook does not equal dogme #ELTchat - there's more to it than that
8:12 pm BethCagnol: RT @rliberni: I think I 'do' it by the nature of the kind of teaching I do - if that makes sense! #eltchat
8:12 pm bcinfrance: I really don't like the "niche product" term in the topic. What niche are we referring to? #eltchat
8:12 pm kalinagoenglish: RT @olafelch @ShellTerrell @DaveDodgson @ShellTerrell Some think anything without a textbook is dogme! #ELTchat <<excellent point:wrong
8:12 pm rliberni: RT @cerirhiannon: no coursebook does not equal dogme #ELTchat - there's more to it than that #eltchat
8:13 pm lydbury: @Marisa_C Scream - we hardly ever use a text book #ELTchat
8:13 pm rliberni: @cerirhiannon can you elaborate on the 'what'? #eltchat
8:13 pm olafelch: @dfogarty If dogme is nothing more than a label, then what's in the bottle? #ELTchat
8:13 pm DaveDodgson: @Shaunwilden And then others who do 'real' dogme are accused of winging it! #ELTchat
8:13 pm rliberni: RT @bcinfrance: I really don't like the "niche product" term in the topic. What niche are we referring to? #eltchat
8:13 pm BethCagnol: @Shaunwilden @DaveDodgson @ShellTerrell Well....is it? Winging it? Seems like it to me actually. #ELTCHAT
8:13 pm lydbury: @ncguerreiro I'll agree with that #ELTChat
8:13 pm ShellTerrell: If you're new to Dogme @kalinagoenglish has the #dogmeme challenge to help youhttp://bit.ly/aTBOPv #ELTChat
8:13 pm cerirhiannon: RT @esolcourses: RT @Marisa_C: Please consider schoolchildren as the focus/.target age group for relating to Dogme #ELTchat
8:13 pm Marisa_C: RT @cerirhiannon: no coursebook does not equal dogme #ELTchat - there's more to it than that
8:13 pm rliberni: RT @olafelch: @dfogarty If dogme is nothing more than a label, then what's in the bottle? good ? #eltchat
8:14 pm nutrich: @rliberni misconceptions? That it's not a proposed approach or method, seems that way to me #eltchat
8:14 pm annabooklover: RT @olafelch: @dfogarty If dogme is nothing more than a label, then what's in the bottle? #ELTchat
8:14 pm lydbury: @DaveDodgson I am sure that is true #ELTchat
8:14 pm esolcourses: RT @cerirhiannon: no coursebook does not equal dogme #ELTchat - there's more to it than that
8:14 pm dfogarty: @lydbury it's a label that means different things to different people. #ELTchat
8:14 pm kalinagoenglish: @lydbury #ELTchat - that question is not answerable in 140 characters or 140 tweets :-))) read the #dogmeme posts!!!
8:14 pm ShellTerrell: @kalinagoenglish I know you're very experienced so for those who think it's winging it, what differentiates? #ELTChat
8:14 pm rliberni: @BethCagnol I think 'winging it' is unfair there are lots of ways of teaching that don't involve set curric or txtbooks #eltchat
8:14 pm nutrich: RT @olafelch: @dfogarty If dogme is nothing more than a label, then what's in the bottle? #ELTchat
8:14 pm Shaunwilden: @DaveDodgson good point :) #ELTchat
8:15 pm olafelch: In my school we have milestones but how the teachers reach them is their affair. That would allow a dogme approach. #ELTchat
8:15 pm cerirhiannon: materials light is definitely possible with younger learners - but more activity than conversation based? more TBL than dogme? #ELTchat
8:15 pm ShellTerrell: RT @bcinfrance: I really don't like the "niche product" term in the topic. What niche are we referring to? #eltchat
8:15 pm DaveDodgson: @kalinagoenglish @lydbury or all the comments on Jermey Harmer's recent post! #ELTchat
8:15 pm lydbury: @kalinagoenglish I know I know - but still confused about it #ELTchat #dogmeme
8:15 pm Marisa_C: RT @kalinagoenglish: @lydbury #ELTchat - that question is not answerable in 140 characters or 140 tweets :-))) read the #dogmeme posts!!!
8:15 pm ShellTerrell: RT @cerirhiannon: no coursebook does not equal dogme #ELTchat - there's more to it than that
8:15 pm rliberni: RT @kalinagoenglish: @lydbury #ELTchat - that ? is not answerable in 140 characters or 140 tweets :-))) read the #dogmeme posts!!! #eltchat
8:15 pm luisanke: @kalinagoenglish The only thing is that sometimes the book is the only safeguard against cheaters... #eltchat #edchat
8:15 pm nutrich: RT @DaveDodgson: @Shaunwilden And then others who do 'real' dogme are accused of winging it! #ELTchat It's a fine line I reckon!
8:15 pm lydbury: @dfogarty Really hellpful! #ELTchat
8:15 pm Marisa_C: @kalinagoenglish Agree; this topic necessitates some prereading - not here to cover the basics of Dogme #ELTchat #dogmeme
8:15 pm annabooklover: RT @ShellTerrell: If you're new to Dogme @kalinagoenglish has the #dogmeme challenge to help youhttp://bit.ly/aTBOPv #ELTChat
8:16 pm DaveDodgson: @cerirhiannon Materials light yes. But then is it dogme? #ELTchat
8:16 pm ShellTerrell: Yes! RT @DaveDodgson: Was it @vickysaumell who wrote on Ken Wilson's blog about abandoning coursebooks in a high school setting? #ELTchat
8:16 pm rliberni: @luisanke cheaters? Pls explain. #eltchat
8:16 pm BethCagnol: @kalinagoenglish LOL! #eltchat (Ur Onestop comment.)
8:16 pm kalinagoenglish: Dogme requires high level of attn in the room to participants, high focus and feedback - keeping subjects student-centered #ELTChat
8:16 pm ShellTerrell: RT @luisanke: @kalinagoenglish The only thing is that sometimes the book is the only safeguard against cheaters... #eltchat #edchat
8:16 pm Shaunwilden: @bethcagnol I see winging it as less purposeful, often still controlled by a teachers agenda at heart #ELTCHAT
8:16 pm olafelch: @bcinfrance The thought was that it can only be applied in certain limited situations. #eltchat
8:16 pm BethCagnol: @luisanke @kalinagoenglish Oh dear don't get me started about cheating. I'll get back on my discipline rant. ;-) #ELTCHAT
8:16 pm nutrich: @rliberni @bcinfranceRe: niche product - that it's only suitable for some contexts, not all #eltchat
8:17 pm ShellTerrell: RT @cerirhiannon: materials light is definitely possible with younger learners - but more activity than conversation based? more TBL than dogme? #ELTchat
8:17 pm cerirhiannon: @rliberni as I see it, it's rooted in conversation,/dialogue, letting the Ss led the topic and dealing with language as it emerges #ELTchat
8:17 pm DaveDodgson: @kalinagoenglish @Marisa_C But the reading left me more confused about exactly what it is! :p #ELTchat
8:17 pm esolcourses: RT @kalinagoenglish: Dogme requires high level of attn in the room to participants, high focus and feedback - keeping subjects student-centered #ELTChat
8:17 pm rliberni: RT @Marisa_C: @kalinagoenglish Agree; this topic necessitates some prereading - not here to cover the basics of Dogme #eltchat
8:17 pm Marisa_C: Do any of you feel that a no syllabus, materials light, student generated topics, emergent lang app possible for schoolkids #ELTchat
8:17 pm lydbury: Rita (the Mrs) has followed Dogme for ages and finds it not very useful. Why should I? #eltchat
8:17 pm kalinagoenglish: @marisa_c um, yes, and I agree with you about schoolchildren being target of 2day's convo #ELTchat
8:17 pm rliberni: RT @olafelch: @bcinfrance The thought was that it can only be applied in certain limited situations. #eltchat
8:17 pm DaveDodgson: @vickyloras Thanks Vicky #ELTchat
8:17 pm dfogarty: @lydbury not everything has to be spelled out to be helpful. Dogme is a helpful label (sometimes) #ELTchat
8:17 pm Shaunwilden: @bethcagnol And if take the ideas from 'teaching unplugged' for example it still requires you to be a but prepared #ELTchat
8:17 pm nutrich: RT @cerirhiannon: no coursebook does not equal dogme #ELTchat - there's more to it than that
8:17 pm vickyloras: @DaveDodgson Here is @VickySaumell's post on @kenwilsonlondon's blog http://bit.ly/dvnEQ8#ELTChat
8:17 pm kalinagoenglish: @marisa_c subbed for a primary teacher yesterday - 15 9 year olds... no way I could've dogme'd that so would luv 2 learn fr. others #ELTchat
8:17 pm lydbury: @kalinagoenglish convo? #ELTchat
8:17 pm ShellTerrell: RT @kalinagoenglish: Dogme requires high level of attn in the room to participants, high focus and feedback - keeping subjects student-centered #ELTChat
8:17 pm annabooklover: RT @Marisa_C: Do any of you feel that a no syllabus, materials light, student generated topics, emergent lang app possible for schoolkids #ELTchat
8:18 pm ShellTerrell: RT @Shaunwilden: @bethcagnol I see winging it as less purposeful, often still controlled by a teachers agenda at heart #ELTCHAT
8:18 pm annehodg: Dogme won't work in school: The explicit curriculum tops any emergent learning and has to proceed regardless of engagement #ELTChat
8:18 pm cerirhiannon: RT @DaveDodgson: @cerirhiannon Materials light yes. But then is it dogme? #ELTchat > to my mind no, there needs to be student driven dialog
8:18 pm olafelch: @DaveDodgson I've had that criticism levelled at me in a course where I didn't use a book. I was apparently "unprepared." #ELTchat
8:18 pm DaveDodgson: @Marisa_C High school or primary? #ELTchat
8:18 pm BethCagnol: @kalinagoenglish @marisa_c Ok. If downloading ready-made lessons is winging it, then isn't using the coursebook winging it too? #ELTCHAT
8:18 pm ShellTerrell: RT @Marisa_C: Do any of you feel that a no syllabus, materials light, student generated topics, emergent lang app possible for schoolkids #ELTchat
8:18 pm nutrich: @luisanke though using a book doesn't necessarily equal quality teaching #eltchat
8:18 pm dfogarty: Don't think Dogme is overhyped. Think it is underestimated. #ELTchat
8:19 pm kalinagoenglish: @lydbury that's too light a question - what doesn't Rita find useful? I think the problem is terminology and understanding #ELTchat
8:19 pm Marisa_C: @DaveDodgson Not sure Dave - not my question - but seems to cover both #ELTchat
8:19 pm TEFL: RT @esolcourses: RT @ShellTerrell: What are misconceptions and misunderstandings about Dogme that the experienced ones have noticed? #ELTChat
8:19 pm luisanke: @bethcagnol @rliberni We are having trouble with drafts/compositions coz students find it easier to use e-translators (1/2) #edchat #eltchat
8:19 pm DaveDodgson: @kalinagoenglish With that age group, materials light TBL is possible. BUt dogme? Emergent language? Tough #ELTchat
8:19 pm olafelch: @BethCagnol I think winging it implies no preparation which isn't true of dogme. #ELTCHAT
8:19 pm cerirhiannon: RT @kalinagoenglish: @marisa_C 15 9 year olds... no way I could've dogme'd that #ELTchat > have had dogme moments with 6, 7, 8 yr olds
8:19 pm rliberni: RT @BethCagnol: @kalinagoenglish @marisa_c Ok. If downloading ready-made less's is winging it, isn't using the c-book winging it 2 #eltchat
8:19 pm annabooklover: @Marisa_C I would say that this is happening in Greek schools in Grade 1 English, don't think they call it Dogme, just disorganized #ELTCHAT
8:19 pm kalinagoenglish: RT @dfogarty: Don't think Dogme is overhyped. Think it is underestimated. #ELTchat >>> agreed and misunderstood vastly
8:19 pm vickyloras: @Marisa_C I believe that for older kids (teens)it can be implemented.Younger ones not so sure.Plus,reactions from the parents. #ELTChat
8:19 pm ShellTerrell: RT @Shaunwilden: @bethcagnol And if take the ideas from 'teaching unplugged' for example it still requires you to be a but prepared #ELTchat
8:19 pm lydbury: @bethcagnol Yes. Absolutely yes. #ELTCHAT
8:20 pm ShellTerrell: RT @dfogarty: @lydbury not everything has to be spelled out to be helpful. Dogme is a helpful label (sometimes) #ELTchat
8:20 pm Marisa_C: I can personally see Dogme working in a school context with CLIL clued up teacher #ELTchat
