please enjoy the first virtual-round-table conference with 35 guest speakers. Feel free to add ideas and questions in the virtual classroom text chat. We are very much looking forward to your comments and feedback.
Have a nice day.

Fortunately, we just had a wonderful airshow in the town and the weather cleared up just for those few days.
I am very interested in participating in the net Round Table aviation discussion. Henry's new book will not be published until spring 2010, but before that I think it would be useful to discuss how we (aviation teachers/trainers) can develop ourselves professionally. What strategies have others used to stay "in-the-loop" regarding recent developments e.g. Crew Resource Management, training for the ICAO Language Proficiency Requirements, Civil/Military integration? Can we, in private and state-run organisations, share our resources a little more? After all, it's about safety.
Thanks for the contact,
Paul

I teach pilots here in Brazil, with Liz Rossi and Cybele Gallo (who also took part of the Round Table).
Hope to keep in touch with you!

You did an excellent job!

At 5:33pm on June 26, 2009, Evandro Alves said…: I am an ATCO in Brazil and I am a teacher of English. I graduated in English (teaching) here in Brazil. I really enjoyed the virtual round table. Are you at skype or sth similar?

At 4:56pm on June 26, 2009, Holly S. Longstroth said…: Hi Violeta! Thanks for organizing the Henry Emery event. You did an excellent job!

At 12:45am on June 25, 2009, Evandro Alves said…: Yes, I have used it. But just some sections of some units.
How about you? Do you always use it. Where do you teach and who are your students? Sorry if you've already written it somewhere.

At 12:08am on June 24, 2009, Evandro Alves said…: Hi, Violeta.
Thank you for your e-mail.
I received an e-mail (from icaea_world yahoo group) talking about the virtual round table.
I teach ATCo in Brazil.

Best regards.

Evandro Alves.

I was thrilled to be asked to join the virtual round table and it was a pleasure to meet folks virtually. I couldn't have had two better people to guide me through it than Heike and Holly.

How interesting that you have worked for OUP. Now, if you live in Varna, you must be on the Black Sea coast - a region I've heard is very beautiful. One day I hope to come and see it and I'll let you know when I do.

I'm not sure if I'll be able to attend the discussion on June 26th. I'll do my best to be online but I'll be travelling that day and I have no idea what time I'll be back.

As for me, I worked at the Air Force Academy but now I'm at the General Staff of the BG Armed Forces and I don't teach any more. Yet, such a discussion would be very interesting and I'm sure we'd all enjoy it.

At 12:37pm on June 8, 2009, Detelina Kuzeva said…: Hi, Violeta!
I teach cadets and students at the Aviation Faculty in Dolna Mitropolia.

At 12:35am on June 7, 2009, nathalie said…: Hi Violeta,
I received an email directly to my yahoo account.
I look forward to the meeting as well-
FYI, I work in Bolivia for Boliviana de Aviacion, a new airline which started only 2 months ago, as advisor and supervisor for the Cabin Crew Department. However, since I am a TESOL and TEFOL certified teacher, I have been asked to teach Aviation English to our pilots.
Greetings from Bolivia
