Paperback edition published today. About 43€, so hardly the bargain of the week 🙁

The 4th SLB #TBLT course is underway and so far, in numerical terms at least, is our most successful yet! The forum and tutorials are buzzing! But it's not too late to sign up for individual modules via https://t.co/jX96JuuEJe - the next will be on needs analysis.

[Serveis Lingüístics de Barcelona @SLBCoop]

Also, new on the learn.SLB blog: @tshiunghan, a new SLB member from Malaysia, writes about his motivations for joining our online tutored #TBLT course starting in January! Fancy joining him? More details via the link: https://t.co/PGwoBXkj6x

Two little bits of #TBLT-related news! First, tomorrow Dec 15th at 1pm CET, @neil_mcm will be live in the @tefl_hub FB group to chat about taking a task-based approach to language exam preparation (with a focus on Cambridge First). You can join via https://t.co/PDSlLPEW55 👇

@TerryWaltz_TCI @GeoffJordan16 Please see Roger and Neil's answers to the first couple of questions in the video for the issue of acquiring new language and input - input is obviously important in TBLT.

[Serveis Lingüístics de Barcelona @SLBCoop]

"It's scary for a teacher to think that language is not what they need to teach, but instead they need to provide the conditions for learners to learn for themselves".

Just one nugget from Roger Gilabert in today's AMA on #TBLT! The recording is now here: https://t.co/kcchpXHFEn

[Serveis Lingüístics de Barcelona @SLBCoop]

Finally, it's the last day for early bird prices on our next online tutored TBLT course, on which Roger is a valued contributer! We start in January with a great group of participants already signed up - why not join them? See https://t.co/jX96JuvcyM

[Serveis Lingüístics de Barcelona @SLBCoop]

This Friday 2nd December at 4pm CET we will host an Ask Me Anything session about #TBLT with expert researcher and practitioner Dr. Roger Gilabert!

Another #TBLT testimonial, this time from @GravellSam! It's so good to know our course had such a positive impact on his teaching practice.

If you also fancy taking your classes in a more task-based direction, check out our course starting in January: https://t.co/jX96JuuEJe

@carol_goodey Thanks Carol! Hope you're well.

Twitter has, in the main, been great for us too. Sad to see what's happening to it.

[Serveis Lingüístics de Barcelona @SLBCoop]

So, how do you archive your tweets? #RIPTwittter

[paulwalsh@josipa74 @josipa74]

Yep - I learnt a lot from the course, and it really helped me to put theory into practice. Best of luck with the new run!
