On Sunday Jan 03 Learning2gether kicked off the new year 2016 with Benjamin Stewart who introduced us to his Academic Writing Workshop for EFL/ESL educators

What is this about? 

In this session, Benjamin Stewart introduces a five-day workshop beginning January 11, 2016, to be conducted face to face with on-site participants in Mexico via the wiki here:
http://academicwritingpd.pbworks.com/.

There, and at the Google+ event page for this event, Benjamin poses the question: As an EFL/ESL educator, what issues do you face? Participants of this workshop will be asked to develop a thesis around this essential question as they develop an argument with supporting claims and logical reasoning patterns.

This Learning2gether event will take place in Hangout on Air. As usual with L2g Hangouts, you can join us in the HoA at a link that will be provided just prior to the event (once the presenters are in the HoA). You can also follow the stream at its YouTube link and interact with us in our Chatwing text chat space.
