We are looking for contributions that cover topics of interest to EFL teachers at all levels, from young learners through university: practice-oriented articles that inspire and suggest improvements to teaching and learning.  Here are some ideas:

  • helpful information for professional development
  • ideas for improving teaching  
  • sharing of personal growth experiences that have influenced your own teaching
  • opinions based on experience and new ideas
  • descriptions of programs
  • research-based solutions to problems with an emphasis on explaining and interpreting results, rather than on methodology.

Gmul credit for writing articles for the ETAI Forum

This year Ministry of Education has established guidelines that allow ETAI Forum contributors to receive Gmul Hishtalmut. This process was explained by Karen Guth, ETAI Forum editor in a Mini-Session during the ETAI Summer Conference 2019 called “How to Submit an Article to the ETAI Forum”.  She focused specifically on how to receive Gmul Hishtalmut for writing articles for the ETAI Forum.

This will take a few months, but it is worth it!
