Hello #ELT #ESOL #PNL! Long time no see, but I'm back with some great news. As it turns out, @jebsim and I have been awarded funding by the @BritishCouncil for our study on the impact of IELTS on forced migrants trying to access Higher Education in the UK

@jaysuekay Thank you, I'll have a look.

One of my Entry 2 adult #ESOL students has made great progress with his spoken fluency this semester. He’s been doing speaking practice with his daughter every weekend. Has there been any useful research into the benefits of adult ESOL students having bilingual children?#ESOLchat

[Tom Hayward @TomHaywardESOL]

@NateclaEast @SusieESOL Thank you, that was really interesting. Good work @SusieESOL! #ESOLchat

[Tom Hayward @TomHaywardESOL]

@NateclaEast @SusieESOL Thanks!

@JeniPrettyman @NateclaEast Have you set up 'quiet days'? These stop notifications coming through and are a bit of a sanity saver.

[Tom Hayward @TomHaywardESOL]

@JeniPrettyman @SusieESOL Great points #ESOLchat

[Tom Hayward @TomHaywardESOL]

@SusieESOL .....It’s been very difficult differentiating between the horrific effects of the pandemic, and the potentially negative effects of online learning. I feel online learning has taken too much of the blame for 'lost learning' in these circumstances. #ESOLchat

[Tom Hayward @TomHaywardESOL]

@SusieESOL A4. I couldn’t believe how well some of my learners did in their final exams last week after a year of worrying about ‘lost learning’. Some learners have thrived learning online...... #ESOLchat

[Tom Hayward @TomHaywardESOL]

@SusieESOL A2 I was really interested in Judith Hanks' talk at the @NATESOL_Tweets conference about exploratory practice. I'm interested in the idea of 'puzzling' about things, rather than immediately seeking a solution to problems. Something to think about over half term! #ESOLchat

[Tom Hayward @TomHaywardESOL]

@NateclaEast A1 I think in general it would be the transition from 'emergency' online teaching to online teaching as the norm, with 0 novelty value, all the challenges of 'normal' teaching, and added new ones #ESOLchat

[Tom Hayward @TomHaywardESOL]

@SusieESOL @NateclaEast Hi Susie, looking forward to seeing what Qs you have in store! #ESOLchat
