Thanks for coming by Sharron. It can be tough if you don’t have access to a decent library. Thanks to the amazon we can get hold of anything now, but at a price – twenty quid a pop for a lot of the books you might be interested in.

These days quite a few people are sharing, though. Two of the writers interviewed on this site, Paul Nation and Scott Thornbury, offer pdf downloads of some of their articles on their personal / professional websites, and they are not alone in doing so. There are a few links for you to explore from here…

Are you on twitter? If you can build the right network you’ll have so much reading to do you’ll never get a break! If you look to the right side of the screen you can click on a few good tweeters, and see what they are saying.

Thanks again for coming – I hope to see you again. Good luck with the DELTA, mine was one of my biggest challenges but also one of my greatest learning experiences.

Thanks very much for these links, much appreciated and anything that is free and useful andalways welcome, it’s a shame that more professsionals don’t share these things, I am mid-Delta, passionate about my job but can’t afford all the books to gain better insight it was worth a visit, thanks.

Teaching English with Technology (http://www.iatefl.org.pl/call/callnl.htm) is a free electronic journal for language teachers interested in the use of technology, published since 2001 by IATEFL Poland Computer Special Interest Group. I hope you will find it worth including in your list.

Best,

Jarek Krajka

The most prestigious academic journal for second language teachers is probably LLT, Language Learning & Technology. It is free and always has been. This shows a journal does not need to be expensive to be top of its field.
