Hello everybody
Author Archives: elt-techniques
Welcome to our Learning Space
http://www.sylviasenglishonline.org/
Welcome to all participants in the ELT MOOC.
I'm Sylvia Guinan. I'm an online English teacher , as well as facilitator and presenter for the ELT MOOC.
I'm here for many reasons. Firstly I've been working at the online platform WiziQ for three years.
Secondly, because I met Jason R Levine on facebook two years ago and was fascinated with his work. I had actually been following his you Tube channel for two years before I met him on facebook . The funny thing is that when he came into my group and connected with me I didn't recognise him as Fluency MC – the first thing I said was 'show us something interesting'.
He posted his brilliant stick/stuck/stuck video.
The second thing I said was 'hey, are you that Fleuncy MC guy'?
We have been collaborating ever since. I always had a feeling that the inspiration and collaboration would lead to something big. Here it is. Fluency MC's ELT MOOC.
I'm proud to be part of this. We are sharing skills to bring you the best. I'm helping with the facilitation and some of this extra organisation on ClubEFL because I want to have a lot of fun in the perfect playground. Can't wait to meet you all!!!!!!
Why are you here?
