Title: Online Book Club for Language Teachers
Body:
The University of Colorado Boulder’s Certificate in Language Teaching Technology program facilitates a book club for language teachers. Here is the description:
“The book club is an informal group composed of educators interested in reading and discussing various books related to language teaching or education in general. Members of the group select a new book every 6 weeks or so. The discussions are conducted via various platforms:
- A private Facebook group where we post short reflections or reactions as we read the book selected.
- A Twitter Chat once everybody has finished the book.
- Live sessions over video conference (summer only).
“Anybody is welcome to join the book club.”
