Hello there

Hello there:

I teach EFL for university students majoring International Law.

It was a great year for our Association in Belarus (Belarusian Association of Teachers ofEnglish). We could launch the first online session. It was part of the 6th BelNATE-IATEFL Conference“Teaching English as a World Language in the Information Age”, which took place in November, 2004.Special Interest Groups extended the work of theBelNATE conference into seven specialist areas. We had 48 presentations, two workshops, a round table discussion plus five online sessions! Can you imagine that?http://www.ir.bsu.by/kel//Teachers/presentations.htm

This event brought together EFL/ELT professionals and instructors from different parts of the world. I say' Hi' to everyone who could join us in November:

Blogging is fun! I started a couple of blogs with my students:
eConnections ( a joined project with Barbara Dieu andher students)
http://onlinewriting.blogspot.com/
Upstream EFL_Writing

I am thinking of starting two photoblogs at buzznet.com Mugshots is one of them. By the way, it's Jonathan's ( Jonathan Finkelstein ) idea . I find it very interesting !

Hopefully, my students enjoy this new experience next semester.

I'm interested in various blogging tools and blog projects. My main concern is how to maintain interest in a weblog student community.

So, let's start things rolling!
