Back in the summer we decided here at GTN HQ that, with our membership rocketing, it was the right time to mark our first six months in operation with a survey to find out what members thought about teaching today. There were questions across a wide spectrum of topics and, at the end, we left a free text box for teachers to add any comments they wanted to share.
It was the dying days of the summer holiday - August 25 - when it went out just after lunch. We knew the survey would take ten or 15 minutes to complete so we weren't quite expecting what happened next, but within those first few hours after its release, we realised you had started something big.
By 10.30pm that night we'd had several hundred questionnaires back, which in itself was impressive with many teachers perhaps still away on holiday or back but busy preparing for the new term. The most impressive thing of all was the content of those text boxes.

"Over the past few years, Forsyth County Schools in Georgia has been moving toward allowing students to bring their own technology to school.
The district updated its acceptable use policies, beefed up its infrastructure and piloted the initiative. But the schools decide what that initiative would look like in their buildings.
In all 35 schools, students can bring personal devices. In 25 schools, the initiative has permeated the buildings, and in the other 10, has made its way to some individual classes."

To effectively prepare for the DELF A2 exam, it is important to understand the exam's structure and content. The A2 exam consists of four parts: Listening, Reading, Speaking and Writing.
There are 25 points in each part, totaling 100 points. In order to pass the exam, you must score at least 50/100. Note that if you receive a score below 5/25 in any of the four parts, you will be considered failing the course.
