Coming this fall to a cinema near you.... SLB: Origins. I'm thinking Benedict Cumberbatch to play Neil in the film adaptation?

@leoxical @ebefl The sample doesn’t inspire confidence, I must say. Looks like it hasn’t even been edited.

@SeanHutchman @neil_mcm I had a similar situation a couple years ago. Found the fastest way was combining this with keyboard shortcuts. Alt+tab gets you to a blank google doc, type code for pre-saved comment. Ctrl+a to select all, ctrl+c to copy, alt+tab back to main doc, ctrl+v to paste in comments.

@neil_mcm Here’s a post on customisable correction codes. betterlanguagelearning.com/post/correction

Hello #ELT #PLN. Does anyone know of some kind of add-on for Google Docs which would allow me to easily paste in some pre-written feedback phrases on essays - i.e. to avoid having to switch between docs to do it? I have a TON of marking and I'm looking for ways to save time. Ta!

@JessBCN @ross_elt @EltKaty @tom_flaherty @lingwalingwa Yup, happy to help too. The MA was a positive experience for me.

@ross_elt @EltKaty I did it, although a while ago now. Also @Croydonense @tom_flaherty @lingwalingwa can give their opinions. Visiting tutors over the years include Mike Long, Cathy Doughty, Alison Mackey, Norman Segalowitz, Jean Marc Dewaele. People like coming to Barcelona.

Looking forward to this. Perfect way to end a week of teaching!

Gobierno de España: Medidas urgentes para ayudar a los autónomos por el coronavirus #EmergenciaAutónomos - ¡Firma la petición! chng.it/jGBHjYp7 via @change_es

Scientists: you should wash your hands because of Coronavirus. People: I'm gonna stop flying, hoard masks, work from home & totally rearrange my life. Also Scientists: the #ClimateCrisis will kill millions - we must use clean power & change how we get to work. People: No way.

In light of the government's plans to take "full control" of the British border through a points-based system that requires that applicants can "speak English" it's worth sharing this again (open access): "Language Testing in the Hostile Environment" academic.oup.com/applij/advance…
