Ciao a tutti!
If you follow my blog, you know that I am fascinated about Poland and Polish culture and I am learning Polish.
Today, I would like to introduce to you www.anglisci.pl

www.anglisci.pl is a new portal that has been created in order to help both student of English and English teachers in Poland. Editors and contributors are developing all the time writing about new, interesting topics, connected with English language learning and teaching.
As the European Day of Languages is approaching, editor-in-chief Gabriela Oberda asked me to share my ideas and experience with Polish teachers. I was honoured to contribute with our experience, and an article was written especially for the portal and its important initiative. You can view the article at http://www.anglisci.pl/europejski-dzien-jezykow-obcych/the-european-day-of-languages.-a-great-opportunity-to-raise-language-and-cultural-diversity-awarene.html.

There are some important features, which makes this portal special and different from others Polish portals concerning English language:
- it was created for students to find all necessary materials
- it was created for teachers to show them new methods and ideas
- it is to show how English language is taught in other countries, that teachers have the same problems
- to make all people aware that languages are important

Have a look, and post your views!

Czesc

Dear all,

I hope you will be able to attend the next event of the ITI NERG, which will be held in Ponteland on 2 October, especially in view of the fact that arranging the meeting has not been a straightforward task!

Venue:
Ponteland Community High School, Callerton Lane, Ponteland, NE20 9EY

Date: 2 October 2008
Time: 19:30 – 21:00

Theme: “Direct clients or agencies?”

There is an obvious financial benefit to working with direct clients – but what are the drawbacks? Agencies sometimes get a bad press, but offer positive benefits too. This meeting will take the form of a round table discussion where we will examine these two working relationships and share our experiences

For directions:
see website: http://www.pchs.northumberland.sch.uk/find.htm
For further information on ITI NE and the event:
see ITI NE website http://www.communigate.co.uk/ne/itinortheast/page3.phtml

The event is open to members and non members of the ITI, and it will be of benefit to all translators and students of languages. The event is a great opportunity to spread knowledge and a fantastic networking place.
