Technology Debate

ELT Journal/IATEFL Debate: Tweeting is for the birds, not for language learning, 14.35-15.35, Sunday 17th April

Elisabete already wrote about it, but I have a few points to add from a different perspective:

The nature of the debate was so participatory that it could be a sample for English language leraners to learn how to debate! Second, Nicky Hockly was so strong in rhetorical skills that English language teachers could use the video of the debate to teach rhetorical skills, too.

Another thing that I liked was the point about the other dimensions of Twitter: As it is stated by one attendee, "Twitter is a new way of communication, please get used to it. We learn, teach, discuss and make friends through it."
