Hi all,

Found this, and thought it might of interest to some:

It begins on April 7th.

What a great resource, whether or not I take the course.

Thanks!

A big thank you again for sharing the info about this course.

I have signed up and started same.

There are hundreds of people (perhaps up to a thousand) signed up from all over the world.

The first impression that hit me upon "meeting" the participants:

That although it is easy to be lulled into picturing ELTs as native-English teachers, a vast number of ELTs are non-native English speakers.

(And who, furthermore, don't fit the stereotype of local English teachers who don't know much English.)
