Who needs ELT newsletters? The Greek issue! Your issue
Kantarakis Eftychios (TESOL Greece)
TESOL Greece Newsletter is one of the oldest of its kind in Europe. In
almost 35 years it has helped shape ELT as we know it. Can its example in
the years of depression show the way forward? How has the publication's
move to the digital era helped or hindered its unique reach and appeal?
This talk discusses any lessons learned.

Help your students to master their vocabulary faster
Anna Poplawska (Vocapp.com
Vocapp.com)
This talk presents an innovative tool called Vocapp.com, designed to
enhance the process of vocabulary learning. What if your students could
create their own audio courses or generate their own vocabulary cards by
dictating words? And what if the system knew which words they don’t
know? It’s already possible.
