Goodbye Katie

Katie of TEFLLogue is packing up her blogging chalk. I’ll miss her blogging as she was very prolific and always writing on relevant topics. I particularly enjoyed the entries where she compiled links from various blogs (including many that I don’t follow).

Hope to have you back blogging about ELT soon.

Thanks EFL Geek!  I’ve appreciated your blog a lot too.  I think a break from blogging is long overdue in my case, but I’m sure I will see you around the web.

Sean.
