12:22 pm Shaunwilden: @englishraven Interesting idea - would sts not initally have the same stress and anxiety about formulating stuff? #ELTChat
12:22 pm nutrich: some areas of the world use different emoticons #eltchat
12:22 pm StevenHerder: @rliberni #eltchat I think that's fine. The problem is when Ss ONLY know txt speak. Thoughts?

12:24 pm yitzha_sarwono: @englishraven that's the idea but eventually teacher needs 2 encourage their students to speak up,coz as u said FB/tweet are easier #eltchat
12:24 pm rliberni: @StevenHerder I also feel that some of it will eventually become standard - the way of things - You? #eltchat
