I am an English Teacher and Professor. I have been teaching for 10 years and I am taking my Second Master's right now. My Master's is in ELT and we have a technological component, so my Research Project is about: "THE USE OF SKYPE CHAT FOR IMPROVING WRITING SKILLS IN AN A2 ADULT LEARNERS GROUP” I do want to contact you because as part of my research requirements, I must do a search of similar projects and experiences faced and handled by teachers abroad and contact them to share findings. I hope to know from you soon! Thanks a million, Iboneth Beltran. Languages Teacher & Educational Manager Dear English Teachers abroad,

It was such a pleasure to meet you and to hear you speak in person! Not only did you bring amazing real-world experience into our course, but you also inspired (at least two) of our teachers to try this new tool in their classroom immediately. Both Mary and Vu tested out Tiny Chat the very next day and reported excellent results with their students. It is so exciting to see one fairly quick session (I think you presented for about 20 minutes, right) result in changed practice the very next day. Thank you! You did a fabulous job Silvia!
