The BE/ESP Blog Carnival

This roundup of blog posts written by BE/ESP teachers, teacher trainers and materials writers includes personal professional blogs and regular or guest posts for a magazine or publisher. Written for two separate target groups, viz. learners vs. peers, their purpose varies widely:

  1. to reflect on personal development
  2. to share materials and start discussions
  3. to market oneself, or a group of authors, to peers and clients
  4. to organize communications with students and clients.

For a summary of all of the posts,  take a quiz to test yourself on whether you’d want to read that particular post more thoroughly. Each question contains the link you need, and background on the author.

Take the quiz here:

The BE/ESP Blog Carnival Quiz

(quiz made using http://www.proprofs.com software)

A very warm thank you to all of the bloggers or featured guest authors who contributed to this carnival (in the order they arrived):

    Anne,

    This is such a helpful list that comes right in time. This is on my schedule this week for my classes and I have found many of the posts very useful and they led me to other great resources!

    Thank you for organizing this!
