This is a mail I recently received showing interest in a BESIG course:
Dear Phil,
You showed interest in offering an Electronic Village Online session on Business English. This is an excellent topic for a session and we highly encourage you to develop the idea into a session proposal.
The guidelines and form are available in the links provided below.
We can't wait to see your proposal. Do you think this could be a BESIG IATEFL featured session, as many of the names you suggested are part of the group?
Let us know if you have any questions.
