inDear colleagues,
We would like to welcome you to our second issue for this year! Once again, a big thank you to all the writers and all of you who read our newsletter and support us in every way.
In this issue, we are introducing two new columns. The first one is the Business English column, in which Vicky Loras explains how the potential problems her students may have at work can become the central theme of her Business English lessons. The second one is the Teacher Development column with two contributions this time: Branka Dečkovićand her experience from the SO(u)L Camp for teachers in Sremski Karlovci and Joanna Malefaki who reflects on the reasons why teachers should attend webinars/online conferences.
In our regular column Borrowed From, we have Marjorie Rosenberg with her Spotlight on learning styles, from Delta Publishing. In the Feature Article column a student, Jana Živanović, discusses Social networks as our virtual home. A First Aid Kit can save us, soMilica Prvulović shares with us a useful and fun activity for a difficult grammar area: modal verbs! In the ELT Flash, Anja Prentić presents Bash Tchelik and Other Serbian Fairy Tales page, the Oxford University Press competition winning project. In theStudents’ Corner, Jovana Erić reflects back on February 14, Valentine’s day, and The Crazy Little Thing Called Love, the quiz they played in the event organized on that day in Užice Grammar School.
Last but not least comes our Upcoming Events section. Since we are already in the middle of March and our annual Convention is approaching (15-16 May 2015), we would also like to remind you that the paper submission deadline has been extended one last and final time until March 18! The theme this year is “A Taste of 21st Century Teaching”.
We hope you will enjoy reading this newsletter and we encourage you to contribute and write for the ELTA Newsletter and share your ideas and experience with other colleagues.

Dear readers,
We hope you have charged your batteries during summer and are getting ready to welcome another school year! To that end, we have prepared an issue of the Newsletter filled with practical ideas to enrich your classroom experience. We offer lesson plans on how to teach and revise prepositions to teenagers in a creative way, how to open important questions and send inspiring messages to a group of students leaving school, and how to introduce the topic of Down syndrome to adults, guiding the students through misconceptions, and positive and derogatory language used.
Our best regards to our colleagues from TeachingEnglish for lending us their article and we thank our diligent students for writing enthusiastically for our Students’ corner.
Be well and have a most successful school year!
Your Editorial Team
