CELENET, heard of it?

Postby Otaku on Mon Oct 26, 2009 1:51 pm

I just ran across this website. Apparently, it's an ES English website...guessing mainly for J-teachers. Have you ever heard of it?

Yes, I have heard of it. But I don't know much about it.
About 2 years ago at a conference a teacher spoke about it. He said he was really into it.
Yes, it appears to be mainly for J teachers with ideas for lessons etc

*cue your avatar*

I thank you for pointing that out to me since i clearly could not have determined that myself by looking at the webpage itself.

perhaps i could know that if i was able to see the webpage at all.

I see there is an option for English now on the site, I don't think that was there before?

Yeah, the 'English' option wasn't there before. But, it's still not English-friendly because, for example, let's say you want to sign-up...the registration is still all in Japanese. I've signed up and am awaiting approval to gain access, but I'm guessing everything inside is all in Japanese.

We'll see...

What an appropriate play on letters there......Cellmate?!

I have always had the impression that anyone who goes to work for Interac becomes a prisoner to them, now I have confirmation that it is true!

Thanks!

It's a scam.

Gotta be.

A Japanese company pairing up gaijins with BOEs for nothing other than the rosy feeling it gives them.


yeah right................

It's almost as vile as koudansha's new "courrier" magazine, /////frightening/////
