Hi Vivek

You're right about networking, and it's also interesting to see what teachers' lives are like in different parts of the world. Which part of the world do you teach in?

We go on at length on the issue of continuous professional development of a teacher. Particularly language teachers are expected to do this. Language teacher, irrespective of area and language face two difficulties. The non formal knowledge of the L1 immencely helps in learning formal L1. Can not we think about following the same model in learning L2 also. Now the second issue, my students want to learn english and that too with minimun of topsy- tervy. Can anybody suggest as to what  strategy i need to adopt.

Pardon me if I sound a little vague.
