4th RICELT Newsletter

Hello RICELT friends

We hope that you and your families are well, healthy, and safe.

2020 has been a testing year for all of us. Without a doubt, our teaching, learning, research, and professional development have been challenged, and we have had to go on a steep learning curve to adapt these to a COVID-19 environment.

In this newsletter, you will find our latest additions to our RICELT archive since our last newsletter. Click here to visit our website to get full access to our archive.

You will also find information about our weekly online writing group, and an invitation to be part of new research and / or look for participants for your own research.

Please continue collaborating with RICELT by keeping us posted about your latest publications, presentations, and theses to be added to our archive. Send us an e-mail to redicelt@gmail.com, or a PM on Facebook or Twitter.

Stay well, stay safe and we look forward to seeing you sometime in the future.

Online Writing Group

If you’re struggling with your writing, come to our online writing group every Wednesday 10 to 13, following the pomodoro technique: 25-minute focused writing, followed by 5-minute breaks.

The aim of this group is to use dedicated, focused writing time to develop and progress on your writing projects. This is a supportive, informal, non-surveillance environment for everyone. 

Please join us for as long or as little as you can, by sending us an e-mail to redicelt@gmail.com, or a PM on Facebook or Twitter to get the log-on details

Would you like to be part of new research projects? Are you looking for research participants?
