September is upon us, bringing milder temperatures and refreshing breezes – perfect weather for reading. And it just so happens that for your fall ELT reading, we announce the publication of the Autumn 2024 issue of The English Connection (aka TEC). In addition to the President's Message and Editorial, this issue includes six ELT articles (including one by the renowned William Littlewood), a book review, and our three regular columns.
What does congruence have to do with language teaching materials? What are "locus of control" and "learned helplessness"? How is AI positioned in the National Curriculum? How to implement TBLT in the Korean context? Should listening materials be authentic? What are the current trends in NEST recruitment? Find the answers to all these questions in the Autumn issue of The English Connection.
