Welcome to our new website- John Arnold BELTA President

We are proud to launch this new version of our BELTA Belgium website. The BELTA website is our primary means of communication between the Board and our members and the wider international ELT community. So what is different? Well, at first glance, you might think that not a lot has changed. The colours and layouts are similar, but we have streamlined it, chosen a more uniform look for our different pages and believe we have created a website that is easier to navigate. Not to get too technical, but our new site follows a more traditional website structure instead of a blog structure.
Activities for Christmas and New Year-Sandy Millin
04/02/2017 - 12:15
This time of year is a great opportunity to have fun with your students, reflect on the previous year and look ahead to the one to come, but you can end up spending hours trying to find the right activities for your class. This webinar will share some of my favourites, along with the materials, so that all you have to do is adapt them to your students and your own experience of Christmas and New Year and your classes will be ready to go.
Online courses, whether for teachers or learners, offer so many advantages but sometimes things don’t work out as planned. Participants find it difficult to manage their time, they get demotivated, and small technical hitches can become huge stumbling blocks. You may be using a state-of-the-art learning platform and have fantastic content, but is that enough when your students are that imperfect species … humans? We’re going to look at some ways online learning can be made much more effective both from a participant’s and a course provider’s point of view.
Ever seen students presenting in class work that’s been obviously copied and pasted from the internet? Feeling concerned about your students’ academic habits? How can you prevent plagiarism starting from young learners? With more and more schools adopting Project Based Learning, forming good academic habits from an early stage is essential. A workshop with tips and hints on how to guide your learners to analyze and synthesize rather than copy and paste. Student projects will be displayed.
Something to MULL over: mapping the urban linguistic landscape -Damian Williams

In this webinar, I’ll report on the Map of the Urban Linguistic Landscape (MULL), an online collaborative project, open to all, which aims to map the global urban linguistic landscape. After a brief overview of the background and findings of the research so far, I will share some practical ideas on how to use the map as a teaching resource.
