Welcome

Here we are at the beginning of a new academic year …
Duly energized and inspired by the TESOL Arabia Retreat early September, we have made a positive start to the year by setting up our new Distance Learning List and moving our 'ilearn' discussion list to Google.

Our plans for this year include:

ILC Coordinators' Forum, British Council, Dubai (December 7). This is a specialist event for ILC Personnel.
TTTT Roadshows in Fujairah (November 4) and Al Ain (May).
TTTT5, PI, Abu Dhabi - April 2007
ILCs: From Plans to Practice (February, ZU, Dubai) - this is a one-day introductory course on how to plan, stock, set up and run an ILC.
Western Zone IL Morning (February)
Annual Conference Newsletter

More Ideas
" An IL Research Meeting
" A possible Moodle site for sharing resources
" An ILC Visit
" The creation of a bank of self-study materials for use in schools

And…?
Contact us with any ideas you have for events and activities
