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

A website for teaching pronunciation and speech accuracy. Students can watch the videos ans practice public speaking and pronunciation.

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.

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.

A wonderful to get ideas and all kind of materials for all levels

Human Rights Group2

Beautiful site to study Human rights. It offersvideos to watxh and discuss, games, cartoon and a lot more funny and reflective excersises. Videos are really simple and appropiate for discussion.

Hello Maria, I could see all the activities that can be done out of a short article. Because being an authentic material the students are led to think and talk realistically and develop all those linguistics activities. Ruth

A Channel to improve listening skills

Excellent reccomendation I really enjoy discovering real world related listening activities for the students because tney can be able to understand language in original contexts. This is an innovation because I just use videos about news or alike but the work done by a colleague eases our teaching.

Cool link! What a good idea.

This is an interesting websites because it offers enjoyable activities. For example, there are several info gap activities. These inFormation gaps usually come in twos. You will need to print both the A and B sheets. You can print them directly from the browser if you want, but they will look better if you save them and open them in any graphics program and print from there.

Teachers these days need to organize great presentations and this is an awsome tool. Explore it! You can use old PPTs presentations, zoom important areas and update them by using Prezi. Regards EMMA

a helpful site for esl/efl materials, resources and teaching ideas

This is a collection of listening practice materials designed for ESL learners. It is part of the ENGLISH AS A SECOND LANGUAGE Website (http://www.rong-chang.com/), the best ESL Web directory.

I really like to use this activity in my classroom because it helps students to listen to native people talking about any topic related with the material seeing in class, and it can help to reinforce some vocabulary, not just by listening but also practicing it.

Great, I going to put it into practice!
