Dear All
I was about to contact Celia Benassi after her first e-mail to remind her of Alex's point - when I realized that there was no e-mail address to which to send this, other than the EATAW list. (Well done, Celia, to have included it on the next e-mail!)
Let's all make a habit of including our own addresses when posting to the list. Then one-to-one contact is possible, and Alex & those like him don't get so tetchy. (Mind you, I can get tetchy too when some b***** Aussie tells me about his weather. It's cold in Hull; it's snowing but not yet lying, so there's colder tro come. Meanwhile it's damp, dank and pretty miserable. Alex, you b****!)

Subject: Re: technical academic writing discussion?
dear EATAW colleagues,
can you please remember that when you hit reply and think you're responding to 1 person, you are actually sending your message to everyone on the EATAW list. Apart from the annoyance this may cause, you may be trying to communicate information meant for 1 person, not to be shared with hundreds ...
I know how frustrating this can be, but EATAW, unlike many other list servers I am familiar with, refuses to change this set up.
BTW: the information Kate Chanock has been circulating about a job in Melbourne, Australia is to recruit a director (not a teacher) with academic status, at Associate Professor level, for a university wide Academic Language & Learning Centre.
cheers

Lawrie thanks for replying!!! I am really interested in knowing more about your work. I am always eager to make contact with teachers that work on my field. I have been working with ESP at the university in Argentina for 16 years, but I have always taught reading comprehension to students in Chemistry, Biochemistry, Physics, Math and Genetics careers and since 4 years ago I have started, together with a team of teachers, teaching academic writing which is really challenging to me.My personal email is: [log in to unmask]
Hope to hear from you!!!

Hello Maria,
I see your reply to Caroline Channock on the EATAW list.
However, I note that she is advertising for a teacher. I am a university academic writing teacher (for engineers, foreign students) in Japan. I have my own one-year EAP writing program, my own textbook, and my own writing center. If you're interested in discussion, I am willing to be of help.
cheers
