  1. Some really nice ideas here, some of which I’ll try out this week- learners have so many problems with listening 🙁

  2. Reblogged this on hungarywolf.

  3. Where’s the “print” button?

  4. Hi Michelle

    Some good ideas here – obviously, we are familiar with all of them (!), but it’s good to be reminded once in a while.

  6. Dear Sir/Madam,

    I am wondering if there are any contests about creative teaching in English held by OUP. And I really want to write an article about my real teaching writing in English to OUP, yet I do not know who I should send it to. It would be my great pleasure if you can give me information related to my concerns.

    I look forward to your reply

    Your sincerely Ta Lien

  7. After the feedback done for the first semester students’ achievements, we decided to include more teamwork and videos and audios scripts, So this is perfect for my unit plannings for the second semester, clear and very well organized, thank you.
