English Language Teaching Contacts Scheme (ELTeCS)

I am subscribed to the ELTeCS Latin America and the Caribbean electronic forum. ELTeCS is for teachers who want to know what's happening in ELT in Latin America and globally. ELTeCS is a knowledge-sharing network for English language teaching practitioners worldwide, run by the British Council and six regional news list Editors. ELTeCS offers teachers access to information about development opportunities in their region and further afield, such as: * workshops, Hornby schools, online courses * conferences and other events * online resources and activities * journals and newsletters * teacher projects * job adds * queries about ELT Many - but not all - of the services, products, and resources mentioned are from UK ELT experts, trainers, and providers. ELTeCS provides this information through six regional email news lists, one each for: * Africa and the Middle East * Central and South Asia * East Asia * Europe, Caucasus, and Russia * India and Sri Lanka * Latin America and the Caribbean ELT practitioners can subscribe to a maximum of two of these new lists free of charge. You can subscribe in just two minutes by filling in the online questionnaire at http://www.britishcouncil.org/eltecs-join.htm and selecting the regional email news list you wish to receive. In response, you will get a message from the Editor within a few days, welcoming you. Digests of news items will appear automatically in your email inbox once or twice a week. ELTeCS members can post their own announcements, queries, and requests. The Editor for the ELTeCS Latin America and the Caribbean news list is Renate Thummler Blum, based in Mexico at blum1957@yahoo.com.mx. The news lists are backed up by the website http://www.britishcouncil.org/eltecs which contains a global ELT event calendar and Teacher Association contact details, as well as reports on past teacher projects.
