Since visiting Istanbul Turkey last year in October 2008 I have received another Newsletter from the
British Council
in Turkey which updates everyone on what is going on in
Education with the Brttish Council in Turkey.
For the most part the emphasis is on the odd
Conference or two in Istanbul .. and I note with interest that there is a planned Conference in Eskisehir on Relevant Issues and it seems as if the Conference Hall is the place to pass on education not the Classroom as I once believed.
Perhaps then I can dig out of my Career a time when the wheel turned in similar circles and I taught a Public Speaking Course . this would seem to be highly popular at the moment. I know that the emphasis on Accent is a key issue but to me what you are saying is as important as how you say it.
I got a new mobile phone with Recording Voices and have managed over the Christmas Holidays to record my own work ... i.e. my poetry and I sounded for all the world ........ the Professional Poet and of course I have read my own poems at the London Poetry Society in Covent Garden in 2005 but thats going back a bit. So British Council Turkey when you need help with Public Speaking .. all you have to do is email me ... nice work on British Council Newsletter email from Turkey . great stuff!
