What is #engchat?

#engchat is a real-time opportunity to discuss topics related to the practice of teaching English at all grade levels. All educators are welcome to participate. We meet Mondays at 7 pm EST on Twitter to pool our collective wisdom under the hashtag #engchat. You can check out our archives here, but we would love to have you join the conversation! Under the pages links, you will find a calendar of upcoming topics and guest-moderators and a page for you to suggest future topics for #engchat!  Those of you who have already joined #engchat, we would like to thank you for helping to build a community of English teachers on Twitter.
