Short, interesting article on assessing students. I found this particularly interesting -- didn't know that about Saudi students. "Oral exams - common in some courses - may present a challenge to both students and instructors. Wait time after the question may be longer than expected for Asian students, who are showing respect, while Saudi students may give a quick answer, which is a sign of strength."
grammar powerpoints from Azar. Highly recommended by Jaime and personally I think Azar does a great job of presenting grammar clearly. All free for download!
Really interesting website for teachers and students. From their "About" section:
"This site aims to provide students and teachers with information and ideas to assist them apply the Habits of Mind. Each of the sixteen habits is presented along with information on when to use each habit and strategies to make the process easy. Each page includes a short video that demonstrates the Habit of Mind and could be used as a starting point for discussion."
