ELT ‘Steering Group’: Your Invitation
Following a successful series of meetings at the British Council in London, we are proposing the establishment of a Steering Group of representatives from key institutions in the ELT field to meet annually in a given venue (The British Council has kindly offered to host these events) to discuss issues that concern the profession in the widest sense. It has been agreed that we will hold the next meeting of this group at 2pm on 26th February 2010 at Spring Gardens.
If you represent an institution that is involved in the training, education, development and assessment of ELT teachers, you are cordially invited to attend the meeting.
Areas for discussion are likely to include:
1. The area of Diversity and Equal Opportunities
2. The impact of the UK Borders’ Agency's policies on overseas
students’ entry to the UK and its effects on our professional
activities.
3. Bridging the divide between ESOL and TESOL
4 Dissemination of QuiTE's guidance information for prospective ELT
teachers.
If you are interested in attending this meeting, please contact QuiTE, or if you feel your organisation would like more information about this, please let us know.
We very much look forward to seeing you on 26th February.

John Norrish has stepped down from the position of Chair of QuiTE after 8 years of leading the association. We would like to express our sincere thanks to him for his unstinting and inspiring leadership since the inception of QuiTE.
We are grateful to Dr Trevor Grimshaw and Jenny Pugsley for stepping into his shoes. We are also glad to report that John has a greed to stay on as an ordinary committee member to ensure continuity.
