Hi Everyone! I've just seen a new platform that is set up like Google Forms, but allows you to capture audio or video input. It's called Tiger Forms https://www.form-qr-code-generator.com/ On the free plan, you get 5 forms/100 submissions per month. Russell Stannard made a video about it if you want to see more detail. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=M8hQiOdnqxc

I recently spoke with @Leonardo Gomes about the curriculum I have to create for one of the Universities I teach at; it's a 40 lesson course for Digital Marketing and Communications students in the final year of theyr undergrad. course, and I've been wondering if it's something which I could actually sell to people already working in Marketing. To give you an idea of the topics covered, there is some marketing relevant language and pronunciation (in particular acronyms because ROI is often pronounced as "ROY" here in Italy!) but we mostly look at case studies and discuss the relevance to them as marketing professionals and they have to present a lot, so it's more of a skills-based course than a language-specific course, if that makes sense? My question is, what kind of questions should I be asking people in order to research if there is a need for this kind of course?

Hi Everyone, I hope you had a great weekend. I just wanted to wish you a positive and productive final full week of March. Looking forward to seeing you in the Q&A and Power Hour this week. As you can tell by the title of this thread, I'll be moving on from TAP and my formal role with Learn YOUR English at the end of March. I have accepted a tenure-track position at a university in Japan and have decided to make this transition and opportunity my personal and professional focus. Leo and Andrew will continue to play an important role in my life as cherished friends and professional muses. I am sure that they will take LYE and TAP to the next level. It has been a pleasure to work with all of you and to see you grow in various ways. All of you have shaped who I am, and I am grateful for all I have learned from you. This is not a final farewell. I hope you all stay in touch and keep me apprised of your success. Sempre Avanti. Best regards, Mike📈

Here's the recording from the Q&A Call today. Thanks to @Galina Dhanoon, @Helen Lewis and @Lori DeChellis for joining in. Tons of good insights on mindset, creating a better offer, and low-effort tasks for learners.https://vimeo.com/1057995899?share=copy#t=0

@Elisa Galbusera and I met for lunch last weekend (along with the dog, of course!) It was so lovely, especially as I joined Elisa's 10 week pilot programme and then continued to improve my Italian with her follow-up course 🙏 Anyone curious about the background, we're in front of Teatro Massimo, which is Italy's largest opera house (and the 3rd largest in Europe) - the history is pretty interesting, especially if you're into architecture!
