Dear teachers and colleagues,
Welcome to another double issue of ELTA Newsletter.
In this issue you can read about MOOCs and the benefits that we as teachers and individuals can have. Furthermore, there is a very interesting analysis of the novel Sense and sensibility for those interested in literature. You can have a peek at students’ interests in the section Student’s corner. There are two exceptional ready- made lesson plans to be implemented in your classrooms.
We would like to encourage you to share and exchange your ideas by contributing to ELTA Newsletter, as well.
It is a wonderful way to communicate with ELT community and to develop professionally.
Yours,
ELTA editorial team
