I’m excited about going to this event!!!

I have the wonderful pleasure of tutoring a Syrian man, but that’s just part of it; I was invited to lunch to enjoy socializing with him and his mother and eating this warm tahini, hummus and almond side dish. Heavenly. We’re so lucky as a community to have 2 fabulous families from Syria as part of it!!

This is a great little video on using mobile phones in the ESL classroom. Amy Lightfoot provides ideas on how to use some of the mobile features, which inspired me to come up with some ideas on my own. I like the idea of video recording a silent movie and then having groups of students create dialogues. If anyone has ideas, I'd be happy to post them for all to see. Enjoy. https://www.teachingenglish.org.uk//a-beginners-guide-mobi

Check out this study on babies listening to Canadian and Australian pronunciation. Not sure if Aussie babies are harder working, though. Cute, nonetheless. https://m.soundcloud.com//aussie-canadian-english-by-peter
