Weekly speech from the TEFL President Part One-New rules for the ESL Au Lait forum

Posted on 27/08/2007 by alexcase

As much as I hate to say anything positive about the British Upper classes, I think we could borrow something from them to make online debate about teaching a bit more civilised. When I am TEFL President, people will only be able to start or contribute to threads in the language of an RAF pilot in a British WWII film. You’ll know when things are getting really heated when people start to write “Steady on old chap!”, “I say!” or “I really dont think that is cricket!”

    Ha! The eagle has landed – would that work? This could be an interesting post though: “when I am TEFL president”.

    I’d love to hear your ideas on what you’d do as TEFL President (or President of TEFLdonia?) Katie, if you wanted to do that as a guest writer spot. Better make the most of the freedom before I’m really TEFL Generalisimo…

    If anyone’s interested, I did later write a “When I am TEFL President” as a guest piece on TEFLlouge.com
