* Macmillan Interactive Webinars
Macmillan invites you to join us as we discuss the one issue we all have in common as educators - the teaching of language, and how we can do it better. If you are wondering what Webinars are, you may have already guessed that this is a combination of the words 'Web' and 'Seminars' and that's essentially what they are - online seminars. The Macmillan Webinars are a series of live video talks from some of the biggest names in ELT. No payment is necessary, but pre-registration is required. For registration and further information, go to www.macmillanenglish.com/season. You can view these webinars online, directly in your web browser and if you wish, you'll be able to put questions directly to the presenter during the session. The webinars start at 11 am GMT. To check the webinar start time for your location, visit this page and select your country from the list. The second season of live Macmillan Webinars will be ready in spring and we will update the list of speakers as soon as possible. Meanwhile, don't miss the opportunity to watch the first season of these past Macmillan Webinars online:
