Hello, my name is Alex. I've been reading this forum for a couple of months but this is my first post. I'd just like to add my voice to those who have already...
Hello list and happy 2009, I am finishing up teaching on a teacher training course and I mentioned IRF a few times. Just on a whim I popped IRF into the search...
Thanks for that, Mike. It is indeed a great way to familiarize oneself with the texture of dogme. I would add (in Bon Scott voice), For those about to dogme,...
I would still enjoy reading accounts of dogme in the classroom from list members who've not yet posted these. For Dennis' record: Bon Scott was not alive to...
Well then here's a fairly quick Dogme-style lesson I did this week. I was teaching a vocab class and some of the students had copies of the tabloid paper they...
Thank YOU, Steve, for adding a fresh voice to the list and contributing another stimulating account from the "front lines" Cheers, Rob ... [Non-text portions...
The term was used intentionally (note the quotation marks) in deference to our Head Kiwi. If memory serves, he's used it in this context. That you didn't...
We were the first to split the atom as well. Oh, and to be really controversial, first to fly as well (before the Wright Brothers). Yours in national...
...and the first (only?) country in Australasia to make some reasonably decent gestures of reconciliation towards the original inhabitants of the land? (Now...
I'd be grateful if you lovely ppl could keep your posts substantive and relevant to the topic of this list. Otherwise, kindly email the person directly that...
Dear List Members So sorry if I flirted with, complimented or insulted anyone! Heaven forbid we make lighthearted non-teaching non-dogme remarks to each...
It never ceases to amaze me how things that are written by "professionals of communication" can be sooooooo misinterpreted by yet other "professionals of...
(Please note, this is written in a friendly tone, NOT to generate any angry replies, ok? ) Linda, to teach dogme is to never say I'm sorry.... hehehehehe and...
CELSO, we English teachers can take ourselves awfully seriously at times, I've often wondered why. I think it is partly because language teachers, the ones on...
Well Diarmiud has been accused of a few things on this list (and has made a few accusations), but I'm not sure he's ever been accused of flirting before. Here,...

DENNIS, you definetely nailed it. I would also like to add to your very pertinent observations, that control freaks abound in the field of education ( teachers...
Celso, you wrote: P.S.: Rob, I occasionally do watch that mainstream propaganda on CNN, maybe because I am "eclectic", maybe for lack of alternatives..........
...as if I was going to resist the poking... If this is equivalent to a staffroom, perhaps we sould just count our blessings that so much of the chitter...
How could I possibly resist as well ? Diarmuid writes: "Well, I'm not sure that this is a strict definition of the word. " For a professional of communication...
Oops, I did it again... Forgot the last, but not least part: From Diarmuid's post: " What I do find unusual in an educational environment, at least in a...
... misinterpreting what I wrote. Thank you, Celso for your attempt "to illustrate" me. I was reminded of a line I am sure I read in a poem sometime that went...
A propos of nothing at all, I stumbled across this very interesting website, I thought I'd share with you all.: http://home.comcast.net/~wwftd/ I have been...
Hey everybody, My slightly cranky post last night has generated a lot of response. I did intend it to be a polite request, and I'm sorry if anyone took...
Celso, http://www.salon.com/opinion/greenwald/ http://www.pbs.org/moyers/journal/index-flash.html Call me biased, but these sources are, in my view,...
Shawn I don't think you need to apologise for anything (and I'm sure that Stephen Fry would agree with me). Matters do get off course sometimes and people do...
Rob, thanks a lot for the links. However off-mainstream, these sites seem to focus mostly ( if not exclusively ) on American politics and economics. That's...
Well, as usual, Diarmuid misintrerprets my writing, which says loads about his (in)ability to stick to the subject at hand and not to extrapolate into...
Celso, For world news, you might try this http://www.npr.org/templates/topics/topic.php?topicId=1004 The thing is that local and national news are generally...
