Do we seminars for ESL teachers in Asia? When I taught ESL back home we were all required to have ESL seminars atleast twice a year. They were very helpful though the pedagogic inspectors were sometimes boring. We would meet other teachers and the experiences shared were more than any ESL text book available in the market.
Now getting into my fourth year teaching ESL in Asia, I am still to find or hear of such a forum. I have been wondering whether it's me the indoor guy or these kind of forums don't exist at all in Asia.
Sometimes I feel like organising one. Imagine if we had in one room all the ESL stars on this forum just for one day. The next day each one of us will be going back a fresh or refreshened ESL teacher. Is logistics the problem?
Any ideas? |
