ETJ-Activities Email Discussion Group

Click to JOIN 
the group

The ETJ-activities discussion list is for members of ETJ to share classroom activities. The list is a Yahoo group.

The group is for sharing activities and discussing related issues. Members of the list should feel no pressure to post messages – it is fine just to read the messages and stay quiet.

Brief job announcements should be posted to the general ETJ list (two or three lines with a link to another site for more information), not to the ETJ-Activities list. ETJ event announcements should be posted to the ETJ discussion list and/or the ETJ-owners discussion list.

Individual messages to the group are not moderated. The list moderator is William Percy.

Guidelines

1. Members are welcome to discuss classroom activities for students of any age.
2. Keep the focus on classroom activities and teaching English as much as possible. Wider discussions occasionally develop, but whenever possible they should be carried out in a way that feels relevant to the English teachers on this list. Politics and religion are to be avoided.
3. The ETJ coordinators committee is considering effective ways to promote the work of unpublished authors. In the meantime, you are encouraged to share materials you have created. However, the integrity of the list is important. Please refrain from the explicit promotion of materials that you have a business connection with. If you join in a discussion on these or similar materials then please identify your connection promptly.
4. Please edit your messages before sending them. Automatic quoting of the entire previous post results in a Daily Digest which is time consuming to navigate.
5. Signing your messages avoids confusion. Addingyour location helps strengthen the network of members.

Commercial messages

The restrictions on commercial messages and self promotion apply to all the ETJ national Yahoo groups – To post commercial messages, please join the ETJ Linkedin group.

Members of the list should not post commercial messages or promote their own products, services or other businesses to the list. This includes mesages that provide links to sites they are connected with that contain products or services for sale.

Messages that recommend materials or sites that the member posting the message has no vested interest in are very welcome.

Authors or others that have developed materials or services may respond briefly to specific questions on their materials/services.
