Discussion lists

CILT provides a number of free email discussion lists. These enable language teaching professionals to:

  • exchange ideas
  • comment on materials
  • ask each other questions
  • share problems and challenges
  • discuss issues of policy and promotion
  • keep up to date with what's going on.

Many teachers and trainers who already subscribe to discussion lists find them an invaluable source of professional updating. The lists are open to anyone who is interested and everyone is welcome to join.
