Another #TBLT testimonial, this time from Sam! It's so good to know our course had such a positive impact on his teaching practice. If you also fancy taking your classes in a more task-based direction, check out our course starting in January: learn.slb.coop/product/tblt-f…

On my way to Vienna with a project proposal in a kind of "speed dating" exercise with potential European partners! Is this the reaction awaiting me? 😉

This will be a great opportunity to find out more about Task-Based Language Teaching #TBLT whether from a practical or academic point of view!

The first lad fae the Brig to win two Scottish Cups and a League Cup, appear in a World Cup, *and* feature in a crisps ad? David Wotherspoon St. Johnstone FC

Still can’t get over the fact that England lost to France in the quarters when they had already beaten Morocco in the semis

Two little bits of #TBLT-related news! First, tomorrow Dec 15th at 1pm CET, Neil McMillan will be live in the @tefl_hub FB group to chat about taking a task-based approach to language exam preparation (with a focus on Cambridge First). You can join via facebook.com/groups/thetefl… 👇

Also, new on the learn.SLB blog: Han Iver #MigranJugaManusia, a new SLB member from Malaysia, writes about his motivations for joining our online tutored #TBLT course starting in January! Fancy joining him? More details via the link: learn.slb.coop/putting-tblt-o…

I gave it a Cambridge First essay to write. The only thing it couldn't do was the bit about coming up with 'your own idea'. Grade out of 20, anyone? (@TeresaBestwick this is what I mentioned in the webinar. Sam thx for bringing this up!)

I wonder whatever happened to him?

I can't recommend this speech-to-text tool highly enough - super accurate, multilingual, and free! Via Han Iver #MigranJugaManusia and the Serveis Lingüístics de Barcelona grapevine. Also Mura Nava the texts work great with your tutorial on interactive transcripts! openai.com/blog/whisper/

I'm a little late to the party here, but Sam's example of training ChatGPT to elaborate input for language learning is very interesting!

Meanwhile, here's a factitious example (Gregory 1981) which shows how this used to go down in Cumbernauld.

Would anyone be interested in sacking Twitter, Threads, Mastadon, etc., and having a Discord set up purely for the language teaching community?
