Attractive site to discuss in EFL - ESP classes (Business - Global Awareness - Project Citizen - Charity)

There are many things that are able to be accomplished throughout the development of the new techniques. For example how to keep in touch with our students and to program different activities in a course. All of this encourages students to never stop practicing what is definitely a process. If they feel the communication doesn´t stop, they feel happy and free to produce more and more each time.

Great idea to put this into our Diigo group. This weekend I'll be going over your project in more detail and can give more meaningful feedback. From what I've seen (and read by others), your group did a terrific job! M.

Great site to help with students assessment using rubrics.  

In this paragraph we might observe three things left out of Web 2.0 that in a certain moment may influence the practice and the responsibilities it may bring with them. The outline of each tension ends with suggestions for one or more researchable questions that naturally follow. With this we are only adding some particular issues that will in one way or another limit the strategic discoveries of this new technological way of communication. Further on, some limitations may impose certain morality issues that may limit any further development as well as oppose to many business negotiations that will be directly affected with this.

Ideas for using technology in our classrooms.

This the site I was talking about in our ning, go ahead, try it. Blessings

This website provides extensive resources on the topic of a living wage. There is a wealth of information contained on the site, which provides comprehensive coverage of many issues surrounding the idea of a living wage and its impact on workers, communities, and businesses.One particularly interesting article discusses the impact of Walmart, not only on workers, but also on shoppers. I think the information on this site can be used in the discussion of how to balance the issue of how big retailers can contribute to communities by providing jobs and affordable goods while at the same time providing a living wage as opposed to simply low paying jobs that provide little or no benefits.

Jerry, this topic is a HOT one right now with the economy not only producing few jobs, but with people working 40 hours a week and being nowhere near meeting their financial obligations. Nice choice! M.

I've always been a supporter of Walmart - one of the few I think! If it wasn't for Walmart I'm not sure I'd be able to get by. The interesting thing though is that after reading one of the articles at the UC Berkeley labor center website, I realized that Walmart could pay more to its workers if they chose to and the impact on their profits, as well as the price increases passed along to consumers, would be minimal. The article discusses what would happen if Walmart was required to pay its workers $12 an hour and concluded even if Wamart were to pass on the entire wage increase to consumers, the increased price cost to the average shopper would only be about $12.49 a year. If Walmart offered a minimum wage of $12 an hour I can't help but believe there would be less resistance to them opening new stores in hard hit economic communities.

Use the radio transcripts and audio files on our site to improve your American English and learn about current events, science, health, economics, US history, American culture and much more. We use a vocabulary of common words and a slower speech rate to make the language easier to understand.

This is a unique resource with english audio and video for esl students and teachers worldwide. This is great website to get information on pronunciation for ESL/EFL students.

This site shows something that we are losing: Values. We need to be aware that one of our duties is to reinforce family unit. We have to work not only with children but with their parents, too. You can use the information to create a comfortable environment between children and their parent. I take every opportunity to share my opinion with parents. Parents who don´t speak English I always afraid about it. With this site you can tell them that the responsibility of teaching English is yours ( their English teacher), but the responsibility to motivate their children is theirs (parents), This site can help them to prioritize their family activities, to show interest in their children activities.
