Special Interest Groups (SIGs) ELLTA(S)
encourages members to form Special Interest Groups (SIGs) of those with
specialist research interests (for instance, Mentoring Beginning Teachers and
Bookmark are the three existing SIGs). Each SIG requires a minimum of 10
members and a convenor. The SIG can be registered
each year with the ELLTA(S) Executive
Committee through Maha Sripathy.
Maha welcomes expressions of interest from any
ELLTA(S) member who would like to form an SIG. Continuing SIGs need to
re-register each year. Information about each SIG is included in the ELLTA(S)
website and is updated annually. This information includes a statement of
aims, membership lists, address list, convenors,
and research interests. SIGs can be formed by parents and teachers alike. Examples
of possible SIGs include: o Mentoring Beginning Teachers o Reading Remediation o Using Lit in the Lang classroom o Speech and Pronunciation For
avid readers and teachers of literature from 'The Hungry Caterpillar' to
'Romeo and Juliet'. ELLTA(S)
is forming 'Bookmark', an SIG specifically focused on the teaching of
Literature and we would like to invite you to join us. You would be warmly
welcomed whether you are an experienced teacher or an enthusiastic entrant to
the profession. We hope to organize meetings in which teachers can exchange
ideas and approaches as well as generate and publish materials for use in the
classroom. Members will also be able to enjoy talks by literature specialists
as well as the opportunity to discuss issues and concerns relevant to the
teaching of literature. Why not come along and see for yourself? For further
details please email Maha Sripathy.
We look forward to hearing from you.
