Hi :)
It's been almost 6 months since I last saw you, but not that old since I last heard of you. Thanks to those who kept sending me e-mails. In fact, thanks to the Information Age, that enabled us to keep in touch despite more than a thousand kilometers between us.
For all my friends; prospective and new ELT teachers in Turkey, I decided to start a blog so as to continue our classroom discussions on on-line-basis. As you all may now, blogging is a successful discussion medium and no one can deny that it is an effective collaboration tool. Keeping this in mind, I invite you to take part in this web-blog, which will build a bridge from Newcastle to Ankara, and within and beyond the web of Hacettepe surely.
The topics to be discussed in our web-blog are (but not limited to):
* Language learning and teaching
*Problems in teacher training in Turkish Universities (and beyond)
*Career planning
*Discussions on teaching materials
*Post-graduate studies in Turkey and abroad
*Your teaching experience
* Research and practice
*Innovative ideas for classroom use
I am sure the discussions carried out in this blog will be helpful for all of us, in terms of professional and academic development. Your comments are always welcome, as they have always been...
Best wishes,
Olcay SERT

:( how unlucky am I: )but you can be sure that I, myself isn't the reason for this situation. I do think that this activity is a good and useful one for us, as would-be teachers:) To this end, after this I will be in the aim of following and commenting on the issues in the question...thanks a lot:)
Thank you very much elif. I will do my best to post useful and interesting as well as thought provoking stuff to the blog.
Good post.
Olcay hocam a big hello from your hometown :D How's your life going? I hope you and your family are all OK. A lot of time has gone away since we talked about gathering in Bursa in this summer but unfortunately I couldn't have both time and a chance to call or contact you as there was a lot of hectic deeds like testing stuff, substitution lessons, shifts, etc :( Anyway I am alright now but the good news is that I will have to do my military service as of this August :) So I thought up I might not have opportunity to talk or contact with you maybe for long of time. For this reason, I have created my own blog and I wonder if you possibly could my own anecdote of success in being an instructor at SFL in Uludağ University ?? Thanks in advance my dear teacher !!
All the best.
