Dear all,

I may have forgotten to include this yesterday.  Taken from Roy Cross' latest bulletin.

An intentionally alarmist piece by Liza Featherstone for The New Republic, The Scariest Part About Artificial Intelligence https://newrepublic.com/article/179538/environment-artificial-intelligence-water-energy 

All the best,

Hi 

Just wanted to let my fellow teachers know that some of the ELT materials I've created can now be found on
https://amazy.uk/community

The content I create ranges from conversation-based lessons to materials incorporating a slightly less conventional approach to grammar and vocabulary practice.

So if you’re looking for interesting topics and stimulating activities, here are the links to my recent lessons. They are completely free and highly interactive. We all love freebies, right? 🙂

Error correction: native speakers’ mistakes edition (B1) - grammar and vocabulary
https://lnkd.in/djY73Fue

Chain messages: bad luck or a big scam? (B2) - speaking
https://lnkd.in/dWtwD39S

Informal contractions - AmE (B1) - pronunciation
https://lnkd.in/d6E4BFMN

And of course, there’s more to come so stay tuned!

Also if for some reason you still haven’t heard about Amazy be sure to check it out. A real game-changer for all language educators who teach online classes!

A number of you have contributed to this special issue, and I hope you are happy with the result.

Could you all please consider doing us a big favour. Could you please open the link that Hassan has sent below and read at least one of the articles. Even better, quote at least one in your own next article. This all contributes to the journal's statistics and will assist the journal's promotion to ESCI status.
