CILT provides a number of free email discussion lists. These
enable language teaching professionals to:
- exchange ideas
- comment on materials
- ask each other questions
- share problems and challenges
- discuss issues of policy and promotion
- keep up to date with what's going on.
Many teachers and trainers who already subscribe to discussion
lists find them an invaluable source of professional updating. The
lists are open to anyone who is interested and everyone is welcome
to join.
