Am now listening out for 'processeez'!

[John McWhorter @JohnHMcWhorter]

So why DO so many people say "processeez" and "biaseez"? Yes, some of it is the little finger up while you drink tea, but it's more about complication, pattern-matching and in this show, Chaka Khan and Peggy Lee. https://t.co/a0kpuNmHvC via @slate

Nice ideas for the first lesson back from @ETprofessional

[ETpro @ETprofessional]

So the holidays are coming to an end & you’re starting a new term with a new group of students...you’re filled with nerves wondering how you can break the ice on that 1st day.

Here are 10 activities you could use on that 1st day. #elt #edchat #tesol #efl

Shortly after answering this poll, came across this great short story by @Cecelia_Ahern about this

[Annie Thomson @anniethomson78]

Wow.

@GemmaELT Good luck! Think CLIL will be a very interesting change- look forward to reading about how it goes.

Enjoyed Romance Languages podcast https://t.co/GZfksKl8b9 from @lexiconvalley
Am attempting to learn Catalan at the moment so look forward to a future podcast on Catalan!

[Annie Thomson @anniethomson78]

Happy to be back on Twitter after a three-month break. Was screen saturated (does that make sense?) but now ready to dive back in!

[Annie Thomson @anniethomson78]

And I am pleased that today on #SantJordi19 my daughter bought her father a rose and wants a book for herself #sexist https://t.co/3mWZ2a0Cbf

[Annie Thomson @anniethomson78]

Very cool ideas- and on ice lolly sticks! Thank you for sharing @HelenChapmanELT

[Annie Thomson @anniethomson78]

@DavidRea_Writer So sorry to hear that, Dave.

[Annie Thomson @anniethomson78]

@sandymillin @Cathyofnusle @GioLic1976 And great to be more available when they are planning as questions inevitably arise #CELTAchat and i think a lot of the learning happens then too

[Annie Thomson @anniethomson78]

@fionaljp @sandymillin @bellinguist @GioLic1976 @BarefootTEFL Thanks for the link #CELTAchat

[Annie Thomson @anniethomson78]

@GioLic1976 I think beyond straightforward correction, this is something that comes much later on when they have clocked more hours in classroom #CELTAchat but perhaps we should focus more on it

[Annie Thomson @anniethomson78]

@sandymillin @GioLic1976 I love this idea! #CELTAchat

[Annie Thomson @anniethomson78]

Sad news.

[Lexical Leo @leoselivan]

Just learned that Michael Lewis, the father of the Lexical Approach and the author of the eponymous book (1993) as well as "Implementing the Lexical Approach (1997), Teaching Collocation (2000) and, lest we forget, The English Verb (1986), has died #eltchat #elt #lexicalapproach

[Annie Thomson @anniethomson78]

@fionaljp @EventbriteUK Just what I need as I plough through my CELTA marking!
