More on ELSA – or should that be ELSIE?

Posted in: Comment

Following my recent news about the re-birth of the English Learning and Sustainability Alliance [ELSA] – which could yet be premature – I've been thinking about the name problem.  Here's my suggestion for removing the confusion between ELSA, the organisation, and Elsa, its capable new co-ordinator – change ELSA to ELSIE, that is, the group of:

English

   Learning (and)

      Sustainability

         Inactive

            Experts

Catchy, don't you think?  And sadly accurate.  Let's hope they soon stop living up to their new name.
