Hi everyone,

    Have you checked out the new School Journals? These are beautifully produced resources free to download. I really enjoyed New New Zealanders. You can find them on the front page of ESOL Online.

This Friday is the last AKTESOL meeting of the year.

To help with planning the event please reply to victoria.parkacgedu.com. Do not reply to this email.

Presentation: Teacher Emotions and Identity presentation by Professor Gary Barkhuizen,

When: Friday 24th November from 5:15pm to 7:30pm

Where:ACG Parnell College, 2 Titoki Street, Parnell, Auckland 1052

Cost: FREE to members, $10 for non members.

The location is perfectly placed to head on out to bars and restaurants for a drink or dinner in the city after the event.

If there is an event in your area, please post it to ESOL Online.

I’ll be at the NZQA Roadshow in Wellington on Saturday and look forward to seeing many of you there.
