British
Council organised a blogging competition on their webpage for English teachers,TeachingEnglish.
It was a blogging marathon for English
teachers from Armenia, Bulgaria,
Croatia, Cyprus, Hungary, Israel, Romania, Russia, Spain and Uzbekistan.
Blogathon lasted for a month, from 4th February until
4th March. English teachers created blogs on TeachingEnglish and wrote
Blogathon posts not longer than 250 words, read and commented on other
participants' posts.
The blog
entries made reference to a variety of ELT themes and class activities. A lot
of interesting and original content was shared. All bloggers were very positive
and respectful. It was interesting to take part in various discussions on the
usual ELT topics but also to learn about
different teaching situations and problems.
After the
end of the Blogathon, British Council
team chose the winners. Three teachers got the first prize – the participation
at the IATEFL annual conference in Liverpool
- as roving reporters.
All my
Blogathon posts can be read on bsanja'sblog on TeachingEnglish, but also on Blogathon page of this blog, because I'd
like to keep them in my diary, too.
I'm very
happy and excited to be one of the teachers travelling to Liverpool on 7 April.
