Online free-to-join discussions of open-access research-related articles from Language Teaching, ELT Journal and elsewhere
We have been engaging in - and encourage you to participate in - a series of research-related online discussions in our Yahoo!Goupr which are open to members and non-members of the IATEFL Research SIG alike. Cambridge University Press has been supporting this series by making selected articles from the journal Language Teaching freely available to all during the periods they are discussed. We have also been discussing some of the open-access 'Editor's Choice' articles in ELT Journal and acknowledge Oxford University Press generosity in, on occasion, making the full issue of a themed issue available to discussion participants.
You will receive others' views automatically and can respond to them if you are already a member of our Yahoo! Group.
