Could you elaborate a bit about these ideas and practical suggestions for
those who didn't attend?

Subject: Re: The wonder of ETAI
Let me second Susan's mail! I too was really impressed and learnt alot from
Elisheva Barkon's talk and went from there to the British Council's Leo
Selivan's two sessions on the same theme (focussing on lexical chunks and
even presenting grammar as such). Leo's talks really showed how to put
Elisheva's theory into practice. I've intuitively started working along
these lines in recent years - especially with weaker classes, and after
Tuesday morning I felt I had truly learnt a new and extremely useful
approach!
Thanks to all the ETAI organizers!
