Dear Teachers,

Here is a link to the British Council Word Family Framework.  On this page you will find words that are associated with the different CEFR levels, including levels C1 and C2.

You can also find the link under the Apt!s Prep tab on the left.

I hope this helps in our Apt!s preparations.

Please let me know if you have any questions or comments.

Cheers,

Logging in to the Online Component

Dear Teachers,

Welcome back to Pro-ELT after our school holidays.

If you are having difficulty logging in to the online component, please refer to the following clip:
Logging on to the ETLN site

Also, it is important for you to log in to the online component through the following site - at least for the first time: ETLN web site

Once you arrive on the ETLN page, click the Pro-ELT tab and follow the instructions discussed in the video clip.  Although it links to the same page as we were previously using, there are some security problems with trying to access the Pro-ELT Malaysia site directly, so we must first access the ETLN site.

If you have any questions or comments about getting logged on, please let me know.

Cheers,

Lance

There will be a showcasing of the Pro-ELT project at the Aloft Hotel in Kuala Lumpur on June 12-13.  If you are interested in participating, please let me know and please register your interest at the application link below.  Teachers participating in both Pro-ELT 1 and Pro-ELT 2 are invited to attend and participate.  There are many levels of participation, including poster sessions, round-table discussions, video presentations, and presenting in person.  I will be leading a presentation on the online component of the course, so if you are interested in joining me, please let me know.

Additionally, participating in the Showcase will satisfy MOE professional development requirements, and it is funded by the BC/MOE including lodging at the Aloft Hotel, food and transportation.

I will give more details as I receive them, but the Showcase FaceBook page is a great resource for up-to-date information in the meantime.
