What is the TeachingEnglish Blogathon?
Just what it sounds like - a blogging marathon.
The TeachingEnglish Blogathon invited all teachers to find out more about trends in English Language Teaching during an online event that:
brought together international English teachers to share good practice in ELT
helped teachers to build an online professional network
encouraged teachers to use blogging as a medium for their continuing professional development
The most active, enthusiastic and interesting blogger will win an all expenses paid trip to Glasgow to attend the IATEFL teachers’ conference from 19 - 23 March 2012!
Fantastic prizes will also be awarded to Blogathon runners-up. Find out more about the Awards Scheme.
What is a Blog?
A weblog, or more commonly a blog, is a personal web page made up of frequently updated pages. It is used to voice opinions, ideas, views and comments on a particular subject matter, interests or current affairs. People who create blogs are known as bloggers and the process of keeping a blog is known as blogging. Some useful links:
• Blogs in plain English
• Tips for writing a good blog
These are our favourite ELT Bloggers
